Hello
I have just got the 2 switches to stack. these are nice switches for a proxmox cluster. however I've a lot to learn.
we have an internal network consisting of 20 vlans. pfsense is used to connect to WAN.
My question is: should we used 'Routed Mode'
PS
If more info on our set up is needed please let me know.

Hi Robfantini
Normally if the pings are not working is due to that you only have one way communication accross the network. You need to make sure that the packets also known how to return from the other networks.
The easiest way to address this is to set up some static routes in your main Switch or Router to make sure that you can reach the VLANs from there.
You can see an example in the below kb article( last section)
Hope it helps

Hi Robfantini,
Welcome to our community!
I would suggest to turn it the routing on the inter-VLAN traffic so you will be able to improve the performance and also set up IP ACL to control the traffic.
I would recommend the following articles to have a look how to deploy it:
Hope it helps!

Re: Routing Mode - which should I use.
OK I'm making some progress.
current issue:
I can ping switch IP and log in.
Can not ping out from switch.
I've run in to that before, years ago..
One thing that complicates this is I've still got our cisco sg300 as main switch .
However I am using a completly different vlan/IP set up on the new switch.
Any hints to fix cna not ping out?
best regards.
