Same VLAN on two switches (S3300's) will not communicate
Hi, probably its just a stupidity issue on my side but I can't get this to work. I am trying to get two boxes to communicate over two switches using a particular vlan. This is actually the simplifi...
That's correct. Functionality of VLANs is to separate the actual/physical networks. VLANs also have a default gateway even if it is set to static and even if they are working on the same subnet. You should have a default gateway(router) configured if not the traffic will not route across the network. Have you tried the setup that I suggested? That is also how VLAN works even if you use different switches. Every network has its own default gateway even if we are not talking about VLANs.

Just fyi - still working on this, having some issues setting up the GWs and connecting to them
Are you using a VLAN aware router on this setup? I believe most of our switches has a lifetime chat support. I may suggest you to open a chat/case online on NETGEAR support so that our support experts may assist you on setting up VLANs on your switch.

So, finally got around adding a bunch of nics to my router playing a default gw and in fact this works.
Totally still don't understand why this is required, but I'll leave that be :)
Thanks
