I have bought a Cisco Small Business 300 Series 10-port Gigabit Managed Switch.
I also have a Thompson ADSL router that connects my home network to the internet and acts as a wifi access point
I am wanting to create two VLANs on the switch one for management (VLAN 2) traffic and one for storage traffic (VLAN 3).
I want to be able to access devices on the Cisco switch via the wifi access point that is my Thompson router.
Not being experienced in cisco and vlan tagging I am not sure if this is possible or how I should set this up. I have experimented with configuring the ports and vlans in various different ways but have not got anywhere. I've only been able to access the Cisco switch through the Thompson broadband router but not access any of the devices.
I connected the Thompson router to port 1 on the Cisco switch. Should it be configured as Trunk? If so, which VLANs should it be a member of? Whenever I try to tag it in multiple VLANs I lose access to the switch and have to do factory reset.
Do I need a Cisco router that supports Trunk ports to replace my Thompson broadband router?
