Simple VLAN without VLAN-aware router and DHCP aka Port-based VLAN
I did manage to get the tagged VLANs (802.1Q) working with DHCP, mutiple switches AND VLAN-aware router - the whole shebang. However, I tried to poke around with the simple setup with not vlan-aware ...
Thanx a lot for the time and effort. Looks like, I'm ending up as that guy I mentioned before, who got it working...somehow :O
Actually, I tried all kinds of combinations and...eneded up with exactly the same setup I began with...and this time it was working! With DHCP and everyting!
So the approach the Asymmetric VLAN is very simple:E.g.
- define VLAN 10 + 20
- define the trunk/gateway - VLAN50 (or keep the default VLAN1)
- make ports 2+3 only members of VLAN10 and VLAN 20 respectively
- make all ports needing access to the outside network (extra switch of router) members of VLAN50
- set port 1 to PVID50
- set port 2+3 to PVID10 and PVID20 respectively
And the setup works as intended - port 2+3 are online, but cannot talk to each other as they are on different VLANs.
Now, the biggest question still remains - Why the #¤%# didn't it work before ???!!!!!A few reboots were made, yes, but otherwise, nothing else!
Additional question:- What exactly are Tagged VLANs needed for then comparing the Untagged if the asymmetric VLANs support the network segmentation and DHCP ?
Hi flipfl0p,
Welcome to the community! :)
As I understand your network setup, port 4 of the GS108Tv2 is directly connected to the PC and you want to get an IP address through VLAN 10. Kindly try to set a static IP address on the PC that is within the IP range of the router. Are you able to get replies when you ping the IP address of the router?
If ever you are not able to get replies when you ping the IP address of the router, set the PVID of port 1 to 10 and check if you are now able to get replies when you ping the IP address of the router.
