I'm having a lot of troubles implementing VLANs on these switches.
From what I've gathered:
T: VLAN member, packets are tagged. Trunk.
U: VLAN Member, however packets are untagged.
F: Denied VLAN membership
Blank: Not a VLAN member
I have 2 switches an a router in my scenario.
Switch2: has an access point broadcasting 3 VLANs (IDs 2-4), attached to interface1. Interface16 is the uplink to switch1.
Switch1: has Switch2 attached to interface1
Switch1 had interface1 blank, previously, and the VLANs were working. I switched it to T and it stopped working. Clients would try to get a DHCP address and it would stop there. Assigning addresses statically provided no network access beyond connecting to the access point. Switching this interface back to blank does not resolve the issue, the issue persists.
Am I missing something here? Wouldn't I want all the paths that these VLANs should follow to receive the VLAN IDs?
To summarize:
1. VLAN IDs 2,3, and 4 are broadcasted on wifi. A user joins one of these VLANs based on the SSID they connect to
2. 1 Access Point is connected to interface1 on switch2, which uplinks to switch1 via interface16
3. interface1 on switch1 receives the traffic from interface16 on switch2
4. switch2 sends the traffic to my sonicwall via interface22
What settings do I need on each switch to accomplish this?
This is switch 2: http://puu.sh/eid5Z/345baaf3d4.png, the settings are the same for VLANs 2 through 4.
Same story for switch1: http://puu.sh/eidlX/c24ea6e948.png
