Hello everyone.
I have a Dell PowerConnect 2848. My Router is a Netgear SRX5308. In the router, I have created multiple VLANs (VLAN ID 10 and 20) and want to pass that over to the ESXi server. If I connect the ESXi server directly to the router, everything works as expected. My VMs are picking up correct VLAN based on the ESXi settings.
I need the 2848 in between as I need to add more devices and additional servers that have specific VLAN.
Currently, I am using port 25 for the 2848 switch.
I have put the switch in Managed mode.
In Switch -> VLAN -> VLAN Membership, I created VLAN ID 10 and 20.
I select VLAN 10, and put T on port 25.
I select VLAN 20, and put T on port 25. (I also tried putting a U on them as well, just to try, but did not work)
But my the VM are not able to reach DHCP on the router.
Spanning Tree is enabled.
I am obviously missing something...
I have already spent last week banging my head on this but have not been able to pass the traffic along.
Please help!!!!
