Hi,

I am trying to use the VLAN facility on a 2830, the customer has a 10MB leased line from BT which runs the main company 2830n. This works fine on a 192.168.0 subnet, using Strict IP MAC Filtering. One of the company directors owns another business on the samesite which want to use the leased line as well. They want to be on a seperate subnet, they do need access to the 192.168.0 subnet for internet and file sharing on a couple of machines ie the director in question. I tried setting the 2830 using the WAN2 port with details for the 192.168.0 network, which gives internet access fine but it kept dropping internet connectivity (I would lose the ability to ping websites). Hence I was thinking about using a VLAN setup instead. The BT managed router only has one output, the customer has three buildings on the one site. The two mains ones are connected by a gigabit fibre link, between two managed Netgear Gigabit swiches. The third is then this site in question which has a CAT5 cable to one of the other sites into the switch. Here is what I have so far but I have no internet access through this:

VLAN is enabled, VLAN0 is port1, VLAN1 is ports 2,3,4 and the 4 wifi SSID's.

General LAN setup, IP:192.168.0.185, subnet 255.255.255.0, DHCP off, DNS: 192.168.0.254 main router
LAN2, IP: 192.168.10.1, subnet: 255.255.255.0, DHCP on

I have the MAC address of the LAN port mapped to the 192.168.0.185 ip address on the main router.
I have the tick box under LAN, General setup ticked so LAN2 can access LAN1.

I can access the router on either of it's ip addresses but can not ping anything outside of the 192.168.10 subnet other than the router on 192.168.0.185.

What have I missed or got wrong?

Thanks

Andy

Hi,

What firmware version are you using ?

I think in latest beta fw's, this issue is fixed.

Thanks got it sorted now using the beta firmware, only issue was I lost the wifi feature on the 2830 in the process but have the old router acting as a wifi ap at present.

Hi,

Good to know that!

regarding the wireless part, there are 2 models of Vigor2830 :

SB - Single Band (2.4Ghz)
DB - Dual Band (2.4/5Ghz)

The firmware you downloaded seems to be the DB version.

Just wait for a SB fw version, and you'll get Wireless working again.
