SXK80 2.5Gbe Wired Backhual with Switch in between
I have a need to use a use a switch in between the SXR80 router and SXS80 satellites. Customer wants to use an MS510TX, MS510TXM, or MS4300-16X for the switch. Will multiple VLANS (admin, guest, IoT, ...
RBK850 is orbi wifi6 router for home， And I had try RBK850 and satellites connect to Netgear switch MS510TXPP before, And It can work for wired backaul. But SXK80 ( Orbi Pro) routers for business can not work in the same network diagram.
Maybe SXK80 fireware have bugs.
As I have mentioned before, I don't have an SXK80 Oribi Pro system on hand... and as schumaku has mentioned, with the SXK80, there are multiple VLANs at play.
From the manual it looks like there are four pre-defined VLANs:
Default (VLAN 1), Employee (VLAN 20), Guest (VLAN 30), and IoT (VLAN 40)
The manual also mentions five LANs:
• LAN 1. This LAN is set as the default VLAN profile (default IP address is 192.168.1.1).
• LAN 2. This LAN is set to the employee VLAN profile (default IP address is 192.168.20.1).
• LAN 3. This LAN is set to the IoT VLAN profile (default IP address is 192.168.30.1).
• LAN 4. This LAN is set to the guest VLAN profile (default IP address is 192.168.40.1).
• LAN 5. You can set a custom VLAN profile for this LAN (default IP address is 192.168.50.1).
The manual also mentions needing to make changes to RIP, port to be trunk vs access, etc.
I wouldn't expect this to be a plug and play solution, but I do think Netgear would have already tested all of this in their lab already. The SXK80 is a business solution, and they would have known the need to use a switch between the router and satellites would be a common use case. We just need Netgear to provide better documentation for this type of scenario/topology.
