Internet connection through different VLAN

[paulericson13]

Anyone could please help me in here.

Have  a 2 cisco SG500 (layer 3 mode) configured with 3 VLAN connected to an  adsl modem (Trendnet)  - vlan 1 Data, vlan 2 Voice, vlan 3 Testing.  Routing between vlan is ok i can ping any device in any vlan and have  internet access through vlan 1 but no internet access from other vlan ie  vlan 2 and 3. no ping to adsl if i plugged a device in vlan 2 or 3. My  question is do i need a router or a firewall in order to provide  internet access through all my vlans or is it possible with the SG500  connected to the adsl????have enable ip routing and default route in my  SG500 but still no luck. need internet connection for pcs as well as  voip devices.

Thanks

Hi Paul, the switch does not perform NAT function therefore if your modem is only a modem giving public IP addresses then you'd need a router to support the NAT function and support either the vlan or static routes.

If your modem is performing as a router, you would require static route on the modem to point to the SVI of the switch to allow the connecting vlan clients to communicate to the modem in turn which makes the internet work.
