Afternoon Everybody,
I'm trying to place an SLM2008 between 2 switches, ie..
Internet<------>Core<---->24portSwitch1<--->SLM2008<----->24portSwitch2<----->More LAN
What I want to do on the SLM2008:
Port 1 = Trunk (pass all vlans/data)
Ports 2 & 3 = VLAN 1 (for management and a wireless AP)
Ports 4 - 7 = VLAN 8 (incase we need to connect a staff PC, must be able to send/receive DHCP)
Port 8 = Trunk (pass all vlans/data)
I've beat my head around this long enough and have gotten close results, here's whats happening:
- 24portSwitch1 works perfectly (it should it is infront of the SLM2008)
- 24portSwitch2 works perfectly (indicates that I have Ports 1 & 8 on the SLM2008 configured correctly)
- Ports 2 & 3 on the SLM2008 work as intended (management PC connects, Wireless AP works and PC gets DHCP IP)
- Ports 4 - 7 on the SLM2008, no matter how I configure them, refuse to get DHCP. Hard coding an IP in the VLAN 8 range on the PC does not work either.
- If I change any of the configuration of ports 1 and 8 it causes 24portSwitch2 to not work.
See attached file and screen shots for more clarification.
Thank you for your time and effort. 30yrs doing this type of stuff and I get hung by a point&click interface!! hahahaha.
