GS308Ev4, GS305E - Help with uplinks/downlinks
Could I please have some help or confirmation that I have these setup correctly? I'm weary that they are because I sometimes have trouble connecting to the admin interfaces on these switches. I've already locked myself out of about 5 of these (they become unreachable) and had to do factory resets and start over. Other times, I login and the admin pages don't fully load. Or sometimes they load with weird names and labels. Sometimes I logout and chrome says "no data from site". I'm concerned I'm losing some packets somewhere. But generally speaking, everything is working and the untagged (U) vlan access ports are divvying out the correct ip addresses and devices are communicating within themselves ok. I don't think I'm understanding how the uplinks/downlinks need to be tagged, or untagged. Here's the big picture. Looking at it on paper makes me feel like I'm way out of league. There's a lot of empty ports, I'm just starting. Here's the 4 port setup on the router Let me just start down the port 1 trunk (stuff on left of picture). Here's the setup of GS308Ev4-1 for VLAN1 Same router VLAN31 Same router pvid And then both GS305E-1 and -2 are setup the same which is: How am I doing?
