Hello
Given SG200-50 don't have CLI, how can I create VLAN but make sure they're able to connect together?
I have a Cisco router already connected to the switch. Is is necessary for the VLAN to talk to each other? Can the switch do that on its own? Do I need another router to do it?
Thanks! :)

Hi Dan, the SG200 switch is a layer 2 device. This means if you'd like the VLAN to communicate to one another a router or layer 3 device would have to do this for you. By nature, VLANS do not talk to each other. A routing device must accomplish that for you.

Dan, this will work if your router supports 802.1q sub interface or if it supports trunk and VLAN tag.

Thank you for your reply. The fact that the switch is already connected to a router should do the trick then?

I understand. Thank you. Thanks to your post I discovered that my router is indeed not what I need for multiple VLANs.

I will have to buy another router.
