Routing Question
I'm using the XS716T to create a small separate LAN in the company. The XS716T will connect several computers in groups of smaller networks, all isolated within VLAN's configured in the switch Each VLAN defined within the XS716T has routing ENABLED. COMPUTERS 1, 2, 3, etc COMPUTERS 11, 12, 13, etc +------------------------------------------------------------------+ NETGEAR +------------------------------------------------------------------+ FIREWALL +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Corporate Network For the sake of argument: Computers 1, 2, 3, etc belong to VLAN 1 Computers 11, 12, 13, etc belong to VLAN 2 VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 have routing enabled The Firewall is connected to VLAN 1 I can ping all nodes within a given VLAN All VLAN 1 nodes can ping VLAN 2 nodes, except if it is the firewall attempting to ping a node in VLAN 2 All VLAN 2 nodes can ping VLAN 1 nodes, except the firewall device. It is acting as if the firewall device does not have a gateway configured in it. Before I call the firewall manufacturer (Fortigate), I noticed that the NETGEAR manual indicates this switch's Maximum Number of Hops is 1 and that this is a COMPILE-TIME constant. Is tihs possibly what is creating my problem, whereby I can ping all devices within the XS716T, but as soon as I try to ping a device outside of it, I can't? (not even the firewall itself, although that doesn't make sense to me). Is this a value that can be changed with a firmware update or any other mechanism? I also noted that I can configure static routes, but they have no effect, with the exception of the "DefaultRoute", which when configured allows all nodes on VLAN 1 to access the corporate network. VLAN 2 nodes, continue to have visibility only of any device connected to the XS716T switch, but not outside of it. Any other static route I configure will not get listed in the "Route Status" section of the "Routing Table" -> "Route Configuration" section. At this time, I'd welcome just about any idea.Solved6.1KViews0likes8Comments
