Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.3

Hi,

 

I've got the following:

 

And I don't get how it's still using the 192.168.68.1 IP address even though I've got a 10.40.40.x network available with a DG of 10.40.40.1

 

How do I force it to have the IP of 10.10.40.1 (It's already a configured VLAN) The port configs are set up to allow any port to take that IP 

 

 


I'm not sure how I force it to have an IP of 10.10.40.1 when others exist on the 10.10.40.x range? Similar to this, my controller gets an IP in the "wrong" range when it shouldn't

 



I want to make sure that's in the correct range too. I've even said it should use a fixed IP address of 10.10.40.3 but it isn't using that.The switch port that it's configured on allows VLAN 40 (Management) In addition to this, the dashboard says that the firewall doesn't even exist, even though I see it on the controller, so this is frankly not true. The firewall is directly connected to my ISP's router too

 

 

How do I fix that too?

 

It also then says that I have no internet capacity, which is also very clearly false, if I'm able to connect out to the internet. The WAN port is directly connected to my ISP's router

 

Thanks

Which device is offering IP's on the 192.168.68.0/24 network?

Have you rebooted or power-cycled the router since the 10.10.40.0/24 network was created and assigned?  (If not, the old address stick around)

Hi

 

It's the gateway itself. Nothing else is able to give that address range out 

 

I've restated it, yes

Ok, a few things then:

 

1. Internet Capacity (Gateway)...you have to manually edit this to your 'purchased speed package'.  It doesn't report the speedtest capacities like the older Controllers did.

2. I am assuming your VM_LAN is defined on your controller, is untagged, and has the 192.168.68.0/24 subnet

3. I assume you did not define a Management VLAN on either the Router or the Controller (this is different from defining a 'Management' VLAN in the controller)

 

I am going out on a bit of limb here, but what if the router gets its IP from the lowest applicable VLAN or the first defined LAN network?  And does it matter?  The router should respond equally well to a ping to 192.168.68.1 as it does to 10.10.40.1 as technically those are all valid IP's for the router.  You can likely validate this in your client's ARP table after pinging a number of those IPs.

 

The OC200 will get its IP from the first DHCP response packet it gets, unless you have defined a management VLAN and are tagging those packets on the OC200 port.  You should (IMHO) always assign a Reserved IP to your controller, and I would imagine that if you did map the controller MAC address to say 10.10.40.2 and restarted the controller, it would come back up with that IP.
