Hi everyone,
I have a Cisco RV130 VPN Firewall. It's on firmware build 1.0.3.14. I want to use it as a router between two VLANs.
The scenario is as follows:
I have 2 VDSL2 lines. Each with a TP-Link Archer VR200 router. One gives a LAN on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet the other a LAN on the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet. The LAN address of the routers is 192.168.1.254 and 192.168.2.254 respectively.
The routers are connected into a Netgear 24 port switch. This is a GS724Tv3. The switch has a VLAN defined for each LAN. So 192.168.1.0/24 is VLAN 10 and 192.168.2.0/24 is VLAN 20. The TP-Link router is connected to an untagged port on the Netgear switch as are all other wired machines. So far so good. All my connected devices both wired and wireless can connect and work on their respective networks and see all other machines on the same subnet.
I want to the machines on each LAN to be able to see each other. e.g. I have a file server on 192.168.1.100 that I want to be able to access from the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet.
So I set-up the RV130 with VLANS 10 and 20 for each network defining local addresses on the RV130 of 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1 respectively. In the routing table I can see two auto generated routes: destination: 192.168.1.0 netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.1.0 interface: LAN, 192.168.2.0 netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.2.0 interface: LAN. I have also selected inter VLAN routing.
NB I have not connected the Cisco RV130 WAN port to anything (and I've set the mode from gateway to router mode). Just the LAN ports as described below. I also disabled DHCP on the RV130 as the TP-Link routers are doing that for their respective LANS. I gave the RV130 a static address for VLAN 1 which I'm using as a management VLAN:
On the TP-Link routers I've defined static routes so on 192.168.1.254 I have a route 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.2.1 and vice versa on 192.168.2.254.
I have tried various configurations but cannot get the thing to work and it's driving me crazy :)
Configuration 1:
I define untagged ports on the RV130 for each VLAN and connect these to untagged ports on the Netgear switch. So two cables, one for each VLAN.
Configuration 2:
I define a port on the Netgear switch that is tagged for each VLAN and connect it to a port on the Cisco also tagged for each VLAN. i.e. one trunk cable.
Neither set-up gives me what I'm looking for. i.e. I can't connect to hosts on the other VLAN.
Can someone explain how the inter VLAN routing actually works on the RV130?
If a packet comes into the RV130 and it needs routed does the VLAN Id also get changed? Are Cisco VLAN Ids even the same thing as Netgear ones?
Help!
Regards,
Ivan
