I'm having troubles setting up a separate VLAN for wireless on a SG-200-26. My first question is why did Cisco not make the VLAN setup like they have all their other business class switches? Anyways, the Access and General modes on these SG class switches are throwing me for a loop.
Right now I just have one port (g10) on the SG-200 switch that needs to be in VLAN 6, which is our wireless VLAN. All other ports are in their default VLAN, which is 1.
Here's what I've done...
Configured port G1 (trunk to another switch) as the trunk port and Port G10 (attached to WAP) as a general port. All other ports stayed in their default configuration. This is what it looks like now...
Port Mode PVID Operational VLANs
g1 Trunk 1 1U, 6T
g2 Trunk 1 1U
g3 Trunk 1 1U
g4 Trunk 1 1U
g5 Trunk 1 1U
g6 Trunk 1 1U
g7 Trunk 1 1U
g8 Trunk 1 1U
g9 Trunk 1 1U
g10 General 6 6U
I'm pretty sure port G1 is configured correctly, but I have no idea about what port g10 should look like. Common sense tells me it should be an Access port and assign it to VLAN 6, but apparently you cannot tag the traffic within an Access port on SG switches, which makes it useless because how will other switches recognize what VLAN the packets are in? So the next logical mode would be General mode, which I put in VLAN 6. I switched that port from being 6U (untagged) to 6T (tagged), but neither seemed to work.
I'd be eternally grateful if anyone with familiarity with VLANs on SG switches could explain how port g10 should be configured for VLAN 6 traffic.
Thank you,
