VLAN Configuration when you have a Switch in your Network?
Hi I have the SXK80 Router and Ethernet Port 1 is connected to Modem(Internet) which has default VLAN 1 assigned and Ethernet Port 2 is connected to a 4 port switch and configured to VLAN 2. Port 3...
Thanks Jerald
Its a shame you dont get this out the box! I paid £1000+ for a business wifi router router and doesnt allow you to creat rules to allow you to talk to other vlans (inter-VLAN routing)
Bit disappointed and will consider returning this. I see others have also suggested inter-VLAN routing in the suggestions and nothings been implmented to date?
anyway, appreciate your response
Thanks
Assume Router is in "Router mode".
WAN is connected with a modem
LAN1 is with VLAN2.
The switch is under VLAN 2 so camera, printer, computer are under VLAN 2 as well.
I guess you consider camera is an IOT device. So you want to assign VLAN3 IP to the camera. Then, PC under VLAN 2 can communicate with camera under VLAN3?
If my understanding is correct, you need to configure:
downlink port of SXR80 in trunk mode and with default VID.
Configure uplink port of the switch in trunk mode.
Configure VLAN3 in the port that camera connects to
Configure VLAN2 in the port that Printer and PC connect to
It make sure the uplink port and downlink port can forward tagged packet without modification. Then, PC and camera can communicate when they are in different subnets.
Router can route the packets.

Hey Bruce
So router is in Router Mode
To simplyfy :
Port 1 = Connected to ISP Modem = VLAN ID 1 (Trunk Mode)
Port 2 = Connected to an unmanaged 4 port Switch = VLAN ID 2 (Trunk Mode)
- SWITCH PORT 1 = CCTV
- SWITCH PORT 2 = HIVE Heating
- SWITCH PORT 3 = Printer
- SWITCH PORT 4 = EMPTY
Port 3 = Connected to PC 1 = VLAN ID 3 (Access Mode)
Port 4 = Connected to PC 2 = VLAN ID 4 (Access Mode)
I assume I cannot assign VLAN's to the devices on the Switch and would require a Managed switch? The Orbi Pro cannot do this?
Also if I want to set specific rules on Inter-VLAN communication, i cannot do this as Jerald mentionedHope this makes sense
Correct. Orbi Pro can only assign VID to its ports. If you hope devices under a switch to have different IP subnet, you need to use a managed switch, which has to support 802.1q protocol. In fact, VLAN function implies VLAN features are required in all devices between Orbi Pro and clients. So far i don't feel you need a static route to help inter-VLAN communication. Image that, a client under VLAN 2 can talk to another client under VLAN 3 because packets are route via Orbi Pro, which owns the gateway for VLAN 2 and 3, so the router already know how to route the packets!
For buying a switch, you can take a look in this page. If you need recommendations, please let us know.

Hi NemoNeil,
Just would like to clarify regarding the inter-VLAN routing on the SXR80.
All VLANs should be able to communicate if network isolation is disabled for all VLANs, please see screenshot below:
Now, when network isolation of any of the VLANs are enabled, those cannot communicate with the other VLANs on the network anymore.
Adding to that, the Orbi Pro only does port-based VLANs and not 802.1Q VLANs.
Apologies on my previous reply as it was vague and I hope this clarifies it.
Please let us know if you have further concerns.

Hi JeraldM,
Today I created a wireless and LAN VLAN, and moved all my cameras to an IoT VLAN, (192.168.30.1). I unchecked both client and network isolation, under Advanced Settings/VLAN / Bridge Settings. However, I could never bring up the cameras from the default VLAN.
I also discovered that none of the cameras are reachable from the WIFI network related to the IoT VLAN, (192.168.30.1). Any input would be appreciated. I am on the beta 4.2.1.106, which may be my issue.
