Help with basic VLAN setup for GS748Tv5 required
Hello, I am attempting to set up two ports on my GS746Tv5 switch to be a member of VLAN ID 100 (and only 100). The goal is for the two computers connected to those ports to be able to see each ot...
Well, it works now.
I've power cycled the switch. Here's what I did:
- Created a new VLAN with ID 100
- Made two ports Untagged members of this VLAN 100
- Set the PVID of these two ports to 100
- Removed the two ports from membership of VLAN 1
- Connected two servers with IP addresses in the same subnet, no further configuration on the servers
Both servers can ping eachother. Computer attached to different ports cannot ping them.
Thanks for your help John,
Wouter
Hi WouterB,
Well, that's odd. Only one thing to suspect, the firewalls on the PC. Try disabling them and see if it will allow you to pass. How are you testing the connection?
Thanks,
Well, I have two laptops directly connected to these to ports. One is a Windows PC, the other a MAC. I have to turn off the firewall on the Windows PC because nothing gets through if I leave that on. The firewall on the the MAC is turned off as well.When both PC's are connected to the switch in a factory default setting they can both ping eachother, no problem. So I think that rules out any firewall problems.
When I have a continuous ping running on both PC's I reconfigure the switch to make both ports Untagged members of VLAN 100, apply the change and the ping continues. But when I then clear both ports on VLAN 1 and apply that change the pinging stops.
I feel like I'm just looking at this thing the wrong way. I actually don't expect anything to be wrong with the switch.
