Hi all, this is an open topic to interopate Cisco small business RV042, RV082 and RV016 in conjunction with the Cisco Small Business SX300 and SX500 switches. Feel free to ask questions in relationship to the RV0XX routers and SX300/500 series switches to optimize your scenario!

The RV0XX series does not support 802.1q VLAN. To overcome this limitation, we will employee the SX300/500 switch. This topic is also applicable for any other router which does not support 802.1q subinterfaces or VLAN tagging (so long as you know how to operate that router). In addition, the RV0XX supports only 1 DHCP scope
The dependencies are as follows-
- Cisco SX300 or SX500 in layer 3 mode
- RV042, RV082 or RV016 with internet connection
Here is how to configure basic connectivity to make the foundation of your network.
- Once you have put your switch in to layer 3 mode, change the VLAN 1 IP address to a static IP address, in this case, 192.168.2.254
- Create a second VLAN, in this case, we create VLAN 2 with the name Internet
- Assign a static IP address to the second VLAN you've created, in this case we will be using 192.168.3.254 on a /24 mask for the VLAN 2
- Assign the switch ports you wish to be a member of the VLAN you created, in this case, I have assigned port 2 to VLAN 2 untagged
- Enable the DHCP server on the switch
- Create a DHCP pool, in this case, we will be creating the pool to correlate to VLAN 2 on the 192.168.3.x subnet
- Log in to your RV0XX router and enable multiple subnet
- Define your multiple subnet, in this example, 192.168.3.0 network with /24 mask
- Create a static route to direct traffic to 192.168.3.0 subnet to the VLAN 1 gateway, on this case it is 192.168.2.254
- Create a second IP route to direct traffic to the 192.168.2.to the VLAN 2 gateway, on this case it is 192.168.3.254
- Remember we configured port 2 as VLAN 3 untagged. Move a connection to port 2 and verify you receive a proper DHCP address and confirm the internet works
