Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.4.2

Hello! I currently have an ER-X setup with multiple VLANs and various firewall rules (I have an unmanaged netgear poe switch for cameras and a L2 Cisco switch for everything else). I recently purchased a few Omada EAPs and like the idea of having SDN under one umbrella. I am investigating if I can take another step into an Omada system.

I was going to start with the ER7206 router (currently on loan from a friend) and build up from there. I wanted to try it out and have it partially setup before swapping over to fully test but I am having trouble doing the most basic of VLAN testing.

 

I have setup 2 VLANs (Home-10 and IoT-20) and connected my laptop to port 5 with a pvid set to IoT then a desktop is connected to port 3 with a pvid set to Home.

 

My understanding is that these should be able to talk by default, however I am completely unable to ping either device. Am I completely missing something? Or is this not possible with the ER7206? (When both are connected to the same VLAN I can ping no problem.)

 

Home VLAN - id 10

Subnet: 10.0.10.1/24

Gateway: 10.0.10.1

DHCP Range: 10.0.10.10 - 10.0.10.200

Desktop Ip: 10.0.10.11

----------------

IoT VLAN - id 20

Subnet: 10.0.20.1/24

Gateway: 10.0.20.1

DHCP Range: 10.0.20.10 - 10.0.20.200

Laptop Ip: 10.0.20.11

 

Both get ip addresses and show up in the devices tab and can access the internet. No ACLs or Static Routing of any kind is setup (or enabled).

Hi @ProtoTempus 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Inter VLAN comms are allowed if you did not set up ACL.

Try to ping the gateway from one VLAN to another on a client. It should always work as intended and show you that it works as described.

 

The firewall on the PC is commonly known for the block of the ping.

  @Clive_A Thanks for your help.

 

Devices are ping-able on the same VLAN so firewall shouldn't be an issue?

 

Getaways are ping-able from either network.

 

I will try to spin up a webserver when I get thome and rest using that.
