Hi everyone,
I have a PowerConnect 2824 switch and try to configure a vlan-scenario but it is not working. I read a lot and it seems I've done everything right but it's still not working.
Basically I want to separate my network. Some ports (i. e. port 1-4) should not be able to connect to all other ports except for the router port (port 24).
I set up VLAN 2. Set PVID for port 1-4 to 2 and in VLAN Membership I set those ports to U and the router port 24 to T.
According to all posts I found this should do what I want but those ports can still not ping the router.
The router is not VLAN-aware and is sending untagged packets. Is this a problem? From my understanding the port is Tagged with VLAN ID 2 for packets to port 1-4 and with VLAN ID 1 (cause of PVID 1 defined) for all ports von VLAN 1.
Or is this the problem and a device which does not tag the packets cannot be part of two VLANs?
A lot of posts say that I have to set port-mode of port 24 to trunk port. Since the 2824 doesn't have a CLI that provides the possibility for settings port-modes I have no chance to set this. When I execute "show tech-support config" I get the following information:
Classification rules:
Port : g1
Port Mode: General
Gvrp Status: disabled
Ingress Filtering: true
Acceptable Frame Type: admitAll
Ingress UnTagged VLAN ( NATIVE ): 2
Port is member in:
