GS516TP VLAN HELP!!!!
Hello everyone, First, all my networking knowledge has been learned through trial and error and the internet. With that said, I have taken on quite a tasking and am at the end of the road if I can get my GS516TP configured. First a little explanation of where I am to date. I have two ASUS AC-RT66U routers, one is in the office on port 10 of the GS516TP and the other on the second floor on port 13 of the GS516TP. The AC-RT66u in the office is also directly linked, through the WAN, to my cable modem and basically runs our entire little network. Both AC-RT66Us have guest wireless networks setup exactly the same: 1) Kids Guest and Kids Guest 5G (192.168.2.100 through 192.168.2.105) 2) Adult Guest and Adult Guest 5G (192.168.3.100 through 192.168.3.105) I use subnetting for access controls on both networks. I am very easitly able to assign rules according to the IP blocks. It works very well (kinda). The RT-AC66U in the office handles all the DHCP for our primary network (192.168.1.100 through 192.168.1.150) as well as the two guest networks. The RT-AC66U on the second floor merely forwards DHCP requests for all three subnets to the RT-AC66U in the office. The main network (192.168.1.100/24) was easy to setupo and worked fine right out of the box with the RT-AC66U in the office setup as a DHCP Forwarder. To get the guest networks to forward DHCP requests to the RT-AC66U in the office, I setup two vlans (vlan14 and vlan15) on both routers and use DNSMasq (through DD-WRT) on the RT-AC66U in the office. WORKS GREAT when the routers are connected to each other (not going through the GS516TP). Once I put the routers in their actual permanent location and run them through the GS516TP, things go a little haywire. Here is what happens: 1) the main Wireless access (192.168.1.100-192.168.1.150) is unable to get an IP address and it obviously has no internet access. 2) the two guest wireless networks (192.168.3.100 through 192.168.3.105 and 192.168.2.100 through 192.168.2.105) are able to get a proper IP in the subnet but they do not have internet access. My guess is I haven't configured the GS516TP properly but with my vlan experience of about two days, anything is possible ;-) In the web config for the GS516TP I did the following: 1) Switching/vlan/advance - i created two vlans (vlan14 and vlan15) 2) switching/vlan/vlan membership - I tagged port 10 and port 13 under each vlan (vlan14 and vlan15) For some reason I think that I should enter something under port PVID configuration but it only allows for one PVID? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, DanSolved
