Hello All,
I am having some issues setting up a home network with an Asus Router (RT3100, Running Merlin) and a Cisco 3560G Switch. Going on three weeks trying different things. Knowledge level --enough to follow instructions and type commands in the CLI and understand the basics of what the commands are supposed to be doing. I want to know the best way to set up my network appliances, perhaps and not doing something right. I attached my config file and topology for reference, based on the image attached for my topology, what is the best way to setup the switch?
Goal is to have 2 Vlans:
- Use switch on Layer 3
- Vlan 7: for streaming devices/smart TVs
- Vlan14: for security cameras
- Vlans shouldn't talk to each other but VLAN 7 needs internet access.
- I will access cameras via dual NIC on a desktop
Issue:
VLAN 7 - does not allow host access to the internet and hosts ONLY pull an APIPA address. Needles to say, i can't ping my Gateway from any host in this VLAN. Can ping Interface when consoled in.
VLAN 1 - Has internet access and interface pulls an IP via DHCP. But i keep reading that VLAN 1 should not be used for security reasons.
VLAN 14 - This VLAN is strictly for cameras, does not need internet since the computer will be the on accessing the internet. Can Ping interface when consoled into the switch.
Things I've tried-
I have tried trunking on ports 12 and 25 with no luck. Setup a gateway of last resort pointing to the routers IP, still no luck. Based on the many posts read here and SNBforums many prefer using switches at layer 3. I have tried IP routing command, built DHCP pools but still no internet access on VLAN 7. Is running my switch from an Asus router even possible?
Hosts can ping their gateway ONLY when i turn off switchport on the port and assign an IP to the port. However, i still cannot ping anything on the internet (ie. google). Any help will be appreciated, open to any suggestions.
Thank you
