Team,

 

I'm strugling with the L3-switching/routing capabilities.

According to the specs this is expected to work for the given switch model.

Meaning there is no Omada router involved with large volumes of packets - like for example backups.

 

I'm running a test setup with an OpnSense router, TL-SG2218 v1.21 and TL-SG2210P v3.20.

The OpnSense router works as expected but requires lots host resources.

The L3-switching/routing on the both switches does not work.

 

The setup:

 

 

 

 

The details of the switch:

Management vlan: 192.168.139.0/24 with vlan 1

Client vlan: 192.168.111.0/24 with vlan 111

 

DNS: 192.168.139.235 | 192.168.111.235

Gateway:  192.168.139.246 | 192.168.111.246

 

Routing table in the switch:

0.0.0.0/0 next hop 192.168.2.254 distance 1

192.168.2.0/24 next hop 192.168.2.246 distance 0

192.168.111.0/24 next hop 192.168.111.246 distance 0

192.168.139.0/24 next hop 192.168.139.246 distance 0

 

The details of the switch and the client in vlan 111:

IP: 192.168.111.50 / 255.255.255.0

GW: 192.168.111.246

DNS: 192.168.111.235

DHCP: 192.168.111.246 (i.e. the switch)

 

If I start testing with these settings and tracert it works as expected from the switch.

But it doesn't from the client - tracert doesn't get beyond the switch to Box12 - let alone reaching a host on the internet.

While the IP address of Box12 (the KPN/ISP router) is in the client list!

 

Any suggestions? What am I overlooking here?

 

Below the test results.

 

The test results from the Omada switch:

tracert 192.168.2.246 gives: 1  ms     1  ms     1  ms

tracert 192.168.2.254 gives: 1  ms     1  ms     1  ms

tracert 1.1.1.2 gives:

1              192.168.2.254     10 ms     1  ms     1  ms

2              195.190.228.35     1  ms     1  ms     1  ms

3              *         *         *         Request timed out.

4              *         *         *         Request timed out.

5              141.101.65.109     1  ms     1  ms     1  ms

6              1.1.1.2          1  ms     1  ms     1  ms

 

Meaning the Omada switch is able to reach Box12 and the Internet (i.e. 1.1.1.2 - a DNS server from Cloudflare)

 

The test results on the client:

tracert 192.168.2.246 gives:  4 ms     3 ms     3 ms

tracert 192.168.2.254 gives:

  1     4 ms     3 ms     3 ms  192.168.111.246

  2     *        *        *     Request timed out.

  3     *        *        *     Request timed out.

  4     *        *        *     Request timed out.

  5     *  <etc – fails>

tracert 1.1.1.2 gives:

  1     2 ms     2 ms     5 ms  192.168.111.246

  2     *        *        *     Request timed out.

  3     *        *        *     Request timed out.

  4     *        *        *     Request timed out.

  5     *  <etc – fails>

 

Meaning the client is not able to get beyond the Omada switch switch - let alone reach Box12 and a host on the Internet (i.e. 1.1.1.2 - a DNS server from Cloudflare).
