VALN configuration to route to multiple subnets from XS708T to XS728T
Hello all.
I have a network without DHCP. There is no router and all switches in the environment are xs708t or xs728t.
Each switch has its own subnet:
Switch A: 192.168.0.0/24
Switch B: 192.168.10.0/24
Switch C: 192.168.20.0/24
Since there is no layer 3 routing capabilites I need to use vlans (layer 2) to pass this traffic. I have attempted configuration of the vlans by assigning ips on each for the neighbor subnet I want to trunk traffic to. I do not want segregation of vlans as I would like to be able to log into any device from anywhere on the network. I am only using the vlan infrastructure to pass the subnet traffic.
I used this doc combined with the switch manual to set up the vlans, but cannot pass traffic between them to neighboring subnets:

Can someone advise on how I can get this to work?
Thanks,

So what now - three VLANs makes three dedicated networks, however you aparently seek one flat network (no seggregation) with three IP subnets?
You can't magically keep one IP subnet on a switch each of connecting these direct, without any routing.
Such a config does not make any sense - three IP subnetwork on one network is a recepie for another nightmare.
Back to the drawing board.
PS. Have requested a moderator to move to the Smart Managed Plus section - no managed switches involved here.
