Cisco SG200-26 multiple VLAN connecting to Cisco 2901 router

[Abhilashgopinathan]

Hello All,

        Here is the scenario I am looking for help with.

Cisco router 2901 configured GE0/1 for Wan, GE0/0 for Lan with 2 sub interface (VLANs) VLAN 30 and 80, DHCP setup on same Router. Had small setup with 6 computers(VLAN30) and 1 VoIP(VLAN80) connected on on Cisco WS3560 switch working fine. 

IP Layout - 192.168.80.0/25 (VLAN30)

                  192.168.80.128/26 (VLAN80)

As a part of expansion, need to connect 15-18 computers and 5 VoIP, so bought Cisco SG200-26 switch(wrong decision) . I am new to the GUI and this new OS. Tried to configure 192.168.80.110 255.255.255.128 as management IP for the SG200 switch, GE26 as trunk, but after save configuration, no access to switch. 

I would like to attain the goals as below.

SG200 port GE26 as trunk to the router GE0/0

Static IP for switch management 192.168.80.110 255.255.255.128

SG200 ports 1-24 for both VLAN 30 and 80 (Either PC or VoIP)

     How can I make this happen. Now I realise that there is no SSH for this SG200-26 switches. Any support would highly appreciated.

Hello,

Let me start by reassuring you that the SG200 is capable of the configuration that you want. 

As you already found out, this particular model does not have ssh/console access so you have to use the GUI.

The switch has a function called Smartport which can automatically detect if there is a VoIP phone and it will automatically change the port configuration to Trunk with the appropriate VLANs. You can take a look at "Smartport - Smartport Type Settings" and "IP Phone + Desktop"

You can change all port types to Trunk from "VLAN Management - Interface Settings" and add the desired VLANs from "Port VLAN Management".

If you are having difficulties please feel free to give us a call and an engineer can assist you with the configuration.

Thanks,
Kris

Hello ktonev,

         Thank you for your response. I was totally lost on terms and definitions used on this switch. I am well versed with Catalyst series. I am confused with catalyst vs SG series. I found smartport menu, changed the native vlan for corresponding roles.   

  So let me confirm this- > on SG switches All ports need set as Trunk (VLAN>Interface Settings) and enable smartport, assign the current VLANs (30 for desktop and printers and 80 for VoIP). 

  There are settings in so many places for the same thing but different results which is making things very complex. I will try these settings and I will read more the Administration guide. If things are unable to resolve, then I will definitely call you guys.
