i dont know if this is the right form as i had issues posting
hi i recently got a srw2016 switch is a 16 port.. and i just got today factory reset..
im new to vlans i tried watching videos but i confused some with the tagg untage exclude include etc.. maybe someone can help me
but what i want is
my router (pfsense ) plugs into port 1
i have in it 2 vlans 1 i want for cameras and 1 to goto my wireless router for guest network
i made 2 vlans in srw2016 2 and 3 2 for Cameras and 3 for Guest network
i then included Port 15 for Cameras as i will want to goto a a poe switch after for cameras
and i set port 16 to tagged include so my wireless router plugs into it..
LAN is 192.168.0.1
VLan2 is 192.168.10.1
Vlan3 is 192.168.20.1
and i want pfsense to access those 2 ports with the dhcp server i have setup in pfsense
plus i wanna be able least my desktop computer to access LAN VLAN2 VLAN3 which is a LAN ipaddress
is this possible or is it too complicated...
i teaching myself as i nto in the IT field i just regular home user
as i dont really want cameras accessing Internet but id like it to be accessed by say my phone or my desktop computer... i dont have cameras yet i working on that i just wanna practice this vlan stuff first etc
so any good videos would help too... as i visual learner too

would you happen to have any pics
and i dont see no hybrid mode
and i learned you cant even get firmware updates of the switch every other company is free for updates.. but i found i have to pay to upgrade the firmware .. so im running 1.0.0.86
i did see Trunk as an optiopn Trunk General Access were the 3
but i could use help with pics.. i tried watching some videos and you want a Layer 3 ... well this switch has like L1 L2 L3 L4 L5 L6 radio buttons is that the same thing i tried making off L3
even googled vlans for dummies that didnt help at all .. looked up a linksys vlan but its different from this so i dont understand most of the settings with the tagg exclude etc... the manual i tried skimming didnt even tell me what each one does etc... total noob with this stuff..
so i dont know how to set the settings you mentioned.. sorry

i dont know if i did this right... i tried playing around and then i lost access to my router as i linked port 1 to port 2 well i gave the same include for cameras
right now cameras and Guestnetwork are 2 wireless routers i testing with my cell if i get a ip address
so i not getting it to really work or if it does it gets a LAN ip not the ips set in pfsense

Hello
This pfsense router will be the device i assume that is connecting to your internet circuit and on this router there is to be two subnets of your choice (vlan2-3) respective - Hanging off this router will be the switch where your guest WiFI AP and end LAN devices will connect?
The basic setup would be to:
1) Attach the router to your internet circuit/modem where it will either automatically obtain an ip address or you need to assign one - (depending on this ip address ( public or private) will also show if your isp it already performing network translation. However looking at your OP it seems to suggest vlan1 is the subnet allocated from your isp/modem is this correct?
If this is correct then your isp is already performing network address translation (NAT) for your internet access, in any case this router will be the focal point for you end host users to obtain internet access.
.
2) On your the router you will create two vlans( vlan2-3) for inter-vlan communication and also activate dhcp for these two vlans
3) The port interconnecting the router and isp circuit/modem can be either a normal routed port or a untaged port assigned to the default vlan 1 interface.
The port interconnecting the router and the switch will be a trunk port ( tagged with vlans 2-3)
The port connecting to the wifi AP to the switch will be a tagged port ( vlan 3)
Note: If you wish for vlan 3 users to reach the internet then you will also need to activate NAT between vlan 1 and vlan 3 on your router OR you could just have the one vlan (vlan1) for all internet users ( guest and lan) and if this is applicable then the port connecting to the wifi AP to the switch will be a untagged port ( vlan 1)
4) lastly the ports on the switch will be:
untagged ( vlan1 users) - 192.168.0.x
Tagged 2 (vlan 2 users) - 192.168.10.x
Tagged 3 (vlan 3 POE for wifi AP) 192.168.20.x ( only if this vlan is to be separated from the LAN users)

ok i gonna have to re read your setup a few times with dislexia and learning disability.. im a visual learner so like youtube or pictures or a teacher demonistrating
so ya what i have is my modem its speed is 5mbps download/500k upload
so nothing fast
i have 2 nics in the pfsense comp.. 1 for the modem wan and the other is for the network just upgraded from 8port regular to this 16 managed one.. i got given
in pfsense i set up the 2 Vlans
LAN - 192.168.0.x
Cameras (VLan 10) - 192.168.10.x 192.168.10.1/24 static port dhcp setup
Guest Network (Vlan 20) - 192.168.20.x 192.168.20.1/24 static port dhcp setup
i setup rules in pfsense so it guest cant see my network but goes out my vpn
so what i want
is pfsense goes into Port 1 on the switch and then like for not Port 2 is Cameras and port 15 is guest network
i played with the PVE and this genera/access/trunk none of that worked either
but id still like 1 computer at least to see everything like my desktop to see the guest network or i guess pfsense would see it..
and i wanna be able to access my cameras once i get them...
also i read you need a Layer 3 switch.. i dont even know if this is a layer 3 switch or Layer 2... i thought the L1 - L8 were the Layers but i read some other stuff says thats LAG whatever the lag does..
but ill have to re read what you wrote... if did anything wrong in the linksys switch maybe you can edit pics to what it should be changed too.. and ill try to fiddle with this more after
also i watched viideo they say dont use VLAN1 changed that VLAN1 to a different number and your gui interface.. for hackers etc man this stuff confuses me

here some pics of what i have... i also tried setting tagged for port 2 and 15 still doesnt worked
i erased settings and tried to start over
but i set to tagged nothing passing through i guessing in NAT in pfsense too for the 2 vlans

is there a good linksys/cisco setup for vlans
i tried to follow
https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=140641
and this link i tried to follow but it doesnt help
http://cainetworks.com/support/training/setup-tagged-vlan-linksys.html
i also read that you need to setup Trunk between pfsense and the switch
so i set the Port 1 to Trunk but that still doesnt let me do anything it does not let Vlan 10 get an IP on the different subnet...
is there a good video documentation how to setup a linksys cisco switch..
would the upgraded firmware be better as its just 1.0.0.86 not the 1.2.2b that i cant get as you need to purchase
so much for plug and play lol
tell it port 2 and say 15 are 2 different vlans and it automatically does it lol

what configuration you want to know or see
so i use
PFsense... 1 Nic to WaN 2nd Nic is LAN VLAN 10 and VLAN 20
LAN is 192.168.0.x
V10 is 192.168.10.x
V20 is 192.168.20.x
the nic cable goes from PFsens to Port 1 on the switch
i tried to setup Port 2 for Vlan 10 and Port 15 for Vlan 20 and the rest is just LAN
ive fiddled with the ACCESS/General/Trunk changing the Port
changing the PVID on the Vlan Interfance Settings
yes i dont know what i doing 100% as i not sure what it supposed to look like etc
here some pics of what i done but it doesnt work for me
as i tried to mitch and match from youtube videos and since this switch is old and and since i not allowed to get the latest firmware for this switch i dont know if they made it simplier to use... but here is what i got
04-30-2019 03:08 PM
is there a video for dummies
on how a server needs to be setup for Vlans to a Switch that is setup for Vlans
so i can under stand what the basics's need to be setup on the Pfsense as the server
and what the settings should be in says this linksys switch.. so im not guessing flipping this on off toggle tagged untaggedd. general the pve access etc
05-02-2019 11:11 AM
so i tried watching a video on basics here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojh8_BDcXyI
so minus the pfsense... can you tell me if i configured the linksys right
it still doesnt work.. except the default lan
but i just wanna know if Switch is configured correctly so then i can fiddle with pfsense

Interface g1 on linksys has wrong configuration. This interface is connected to pfsense, so need more configuration as below;
sets mode trunk: ok
sets vlan 1 as untagged: ok
sets vlan 10 as tagged: pendent
sets vlan 20 as tagged: pendent
