Three GS308E, PFSense, cannot get VLAN working on third switch
I'm working on getting VLAN setup in my home network. All of the switches are GS308E and have the VLAN turned on for the type "Advanced 802.1Q VLAN". The "LAN" coming into Port 1 of Switch 1 is coming from the TPLink Switch that is connected to the PFSense box. Switch 1 with Port 2 connects to Switch 2 with Port 1. The same for Switch 2 Port 2 connects to Switch 3 with Port 1. Eventually Switch 3 with Port 2 will connect to a ReoLink PoE for my Cameras/Frigate setup. On Switch 1: Ports 6, 7, and 8 setup for VLAN 400. Ports 3 setup for VLAN 300. Ports 2 setup to go to Port 1 of Switch 2 Ports 1 setup to connect to the LAN On Switch 2: Port 1 is connected to Switch 1 Port 2 Port 2 is connected to Switch 3 Port 1 No VLAN has been setup at this point on this Switch On Switch 3: Port 1 is connected to Switch 2 Port 2 Port 8 is setup for VLAN 602 For all the Switches I have the VLAN 1 which is the default VLAN. For Switch 1, I'm able to connect my laptop with Ubuntu 24.04 and a Raspberry Pi 5 with Ubuntu 24.04 just fine to Port 6-8. I've tried to connect another computer (Ubuntu 24.04) to Switch 3 Port 8, but it fails to connect. I've taken my laptop and tried, but it also doesn't connect. Now when I connect to like Switch 3 port 6, it connects just fine. I started this post last night, but just finishing it up this morning. I'll dig back into the setup of things and see if I have done something incorrectly. Below is the setup of PFSense and an outline of how I have configured the Switches. If there is something else that I'm not included, please ask for it and I'll see if I can capture it, as I'll be messing around trying to get this to work. I've put in screen shots of the PFSense setup - put in bold of my comments so they stand out... PICS will be done during edits of this post - won't post to start... In Pfsense I can see my three switches (which have not been assigned a static IP at this point) In Pfsense, these are the VLAN setup. These are the Interface Assignments: Here is the Configuration of the SecurityCams2 (VLAN 602) The configuration of the DHCP Servier for VLAN 602 The last part, the Rules for the new VLAN.

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?M4300 routing table Next Hop is Mgmt IP
Apologies for the dumb question: I have two M4300's stacked together with three VLANs configured. VLAN 10 has range 10.0.10.0/24, the gateway is (supposed to be) 10.0.10.1 and the management interface is at 10.0.10.252. However, the routing table for 10.0.10.0 shows the next hop as 10.0.10.252 which must have been set when I chose that IP for the management interface. I was expecting it to be the gateway not the management interface? In "IPv4 Management VLAN Configuration", The management VLAN is 10, Routing Mode is enabled, the IP Address/Subnet Mask are as above and the Gateway is 10.0.10.1. I can ping devices on VLAN10 including the management interface, but not the Gateway. Neither can I ping anything on the other VLANs. Is this normal or have I messed up my config somehow?VLAN
Hi an alle, ich habe einen GS752TXPv3 Switch und würde gerne ein VLAN 50 untagged erstellen 192.168.50.0/255.255.255.0 im VLAN1 - 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 läuft ein DHCP Server für VLAN1 u. VLAN50 Wie muss ich das VLAN50 am Switch konfigurieren das der DHCP relay zu diesem DHCP funktioniert ? Wie bekomme ich ein Routing von VLAN50 zu VLAN1 konfiguriert ?Feature request: provide true network segmentation for guest wifi
It would be great if you could improve the guest wifi capabilities, at least giving the option of complete network segmentation for guest networks on your routers. Visitors, and untrusted devices (e.g., IoT devices) should be able to connect to a separate SSID, on a (separate) VLAN (or other logical segmentation), so that guest devices can't discover, communicate with, or sniff traffic from, devices on the trusted SSID, except as explicitly permitted through user-created rules. Ideally, VLAN management should also extend to the ethernet ports on the router and satellites, so that wired devices can also be segmented out to the untrusted VLAN (e.g., wired IoT devices).GS1xxE and their PoE equivalents. Getting them an IP using DHCP on a specific vlan.
Hello to anyone taking the time to read this. I have close to a dozen netgear GS1xxE switches at my home and various family member's homes by now and swear by the things. Vlan tagging is a must for our various setups and these switches haven't disapointed yet. However , when it comes to configuring them, the fact one is incapable of selecting the vlan on which the things do their DHCP negotiating forces me to use fixed IP's. In essence this isn't all that bad. But adding this to the firmware isn't something unreasonable to ask I would think. http://i.imgur.com/JZEvBx4.png http://i.imgur.com/p9evrYY.png Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply. If you also think this slight oversight should be rectified please do reply.
vlan (ipv6 futureproofing)
Hi, We have a SRX5308 and a couple of FVS336 as well as a few other routers. We are futureproofing our corporate network by deploying ipv6 in parallel of ipv4. our address scheme was chosen as to be as simple for the admins as possible : ipv4 : 10.bbb.ccc.ddd (where bbb also denotes the vlan) ipv6 : fdgg:gggg:gggg:bbb::ccc:ddd:1 it's been deployed within the network, and it runs fine, no issues. our primary firewall-routerchain (not netgear) is also updated and works. I'm now trying to configure one of the netgear, and I'm discovering the issue where the ipv6 mode doesn't support vlan (at least through the GUI). is there any way to actually make ot work (telnet ?) or am I wasting my time, and should at some point replace them with other hardware ?Question on creating multiple Wireless VLANs for Security (IoT devices, Family WiFi, Guest WiFi)
Hey Everyone, I'm in the process of re-doing (re-designing) my entire Home Network. I've decided to go the VLAN route for both Wired and Wireless devices. From a security standpoint, I would like to have all of my IoT / Smart Devices (Amazon Echo's, Ring Doorbell Pro, etc., bla bla) on their own Wireless VLAN. I would also like to have a Wireless VLAN just for visiting friends/family/guests. Lastly, I would like to have a Wireless VLAN for the members of my immediate household. Ideally, I would like to create a specific VLAN for both Wireless and Wired devices, for my immediate household that is. Here is what I currently have in terms of hardware: 1. - I have an Orbi RBR50 w/ 2x Satellites. From what I can see, the Orbi Router seems to only support basic VLAN tagging. However, the ORBI does allow for you to create a 'Guest WiFi' and restrict users from even seeing/interacting with each other and etc. As weird as it may seem, my CenturyLink Fiber Modem seems to have more options for VLAN Management than the Orbi. 2. - I have 2x ZyXEL switches, a GS1900-8 (8-Port) and a GS1900-24E (24-Port). According to their specs they support the following VLAN/QoS specs: Traffic Management and QoS • Port-based VLAN • IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging • IEEE 802.3ad LACP • Guest VLAN • Voice VLAN • Storm control • IEEE 802.1p priority queues per port • IEEE 802.1p Queuing method (scheduler) • Input priority mapping • Rate limiting per port (ingress/ egress) • IEEE 802.3x flow control So that said, since I would like to do some VLAN Magic as stated above, is there a way to do this with the my current hardware? Or do I need to purchase additional hardware like an Netgear Router or a little EdgeRouterX or something? Also, I'm trying to understand...since I'm using the Orbi RBR50 w/ Two Satellites...I'm not sure how I can create additional WiFi VLANs without adding additional APs or other equipment? Any thoughts and recommendations welcome!! BJConnecting Seagate PersonalCloud to Orbi RBK30
Hi, I have a Seagate 3TB Personal Cloud that I'm trying to connect (wired, no wifi) to my Orbi router. However, it's not showing up on my network. VLAN/Bridge group is enabled due to my ISP's settings. Any ideas on how I can get the PersonalCloud device to connect? TIA.
