Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.2.6 Build 20240718 Rel.82712

Currently have single LAN/VLAN (lan1) with 192.168.1.0/24 that is working fine. My requirement is to have a 2nd LAN/VLAN (lan2) with network 192.168.2.0/24. Both VLANs should be able to freely communicate with each other. lan1 has DHCP enabled, however for lan2 (which will house servers only) does not require DHCP and will get servers with static IP addresses. The Mode is set to "Normal" for both VLANs.  Both VLANs have all ports assigned to them as PCs (in VLAN1) and Servers (in VLAN2) are all attached to a common switch coming out of a single port in the router. So Ports are set to "2(UNTAG) 3(UNTAG) 4(UNTAG) 5(UNTAG)" for both VLANs. 

 

The configuration works for devices with static or DHCP addresses in VLAN1. However the server configured to work with network in VLAN2 with static IP (e.g.192.168.2.99) does not connect to the network and cannot reach anything or be reached by anything.

 

I want two seperate networks that are able to freely communicate and ping each other - at least for now, and possibly set firewall rules later. Is this possible? If so, what am I doing wrong? Should the Ports be TAGged?

Hi @snathan,

 

Try this...

  • Server's port: Just needs VLAN 2 untagged (no others) and VLAN 2 as the native network (PVID)
  • Router's port: VLAN 2 needs to be added as tagged
  • Server Config: Be sure the default gateway is correct; probably 192.168.2.1

@snathan, yes, first bullet would assign VLAN-2 to the physical port because something needs to set the VLAN tag to "2" on the packets that come from the server.  If your server is able to tag the packets then the physical port can have VLAN 2 as a tagged member.

Thank you for answering.

 

  • I don't want to assign physical ports to VLANs. I am thinking the first bullet (on Server's port) suggests that?
  • I followed the 2nd bullet and marked VLAN2 as tagged (for all physical ports)
  • Yes, the server config has gateway set as indicated.

 

With the change on TAG on VLAN2, it does not seem to still work. I have seen others make this work successfully when they assign physical ports to VLANs. Is it possible to have all ports service all VLANs?

 

Thanks
