VLAN Setup / SG300 & WRT54G (DD-WRT)

[sjackowski]

I just purchased a Cisco SG300 managed switch and would like to seperate my network into two VLAN's, one for my lab environment and the other for everything else.

I have the switch in L3 mode and and been reading the admin guide but I'm still at a loss with VLAN configuration.

This is a 10 port switch, so maybe I could start with 5 ports for my lab and 5 ports for the rest?

What role will my router play in all of this? It also has VLAN capability.

Sounds good, but do I "Assign DHCP to each router port" on the switch?

I'm assuming VLAN 1 (port 1) is going to have DHCP by default? So now I just need VLAN 10 (port 2) setup with DHCP right?

Should GE1 (VLAN 1) be an "Access" port as well? or "Trunk"?:

Once I ran those two wires from the router into the switch I lost the IP of the switch.

Disreragrd, my router had it listed and I am able to use GUI to access switch now.

How can I make sure I have a static IP to gain access to this managed switch?

So here is a view from my router VLAN page:

And here is a "show run" from my switch:

Right now I only have port 4 from router into port 2 of switch and port 1 from router into port 1 of switch.

How's it look thus far?

I can assign ports to VLAN 10 no problem, but any port I "add" (I'm not really adding since it's the default VLAN) to VLAN 1 gets no IP address?

I'm thinking that I didn't need to add port 1 on the router to VLAN 1.

Or do the ports I add to VLAN 1 stay at "Trunk"?

OK this is getting rediculous really, I mean is it that hard to seperate network traffic? I created another VLAN (5) and it shows up as having no IP address and a status of "not received"? How in the world is VLAN 10 working but not 5 and 1?

Hi Scott, if you got the time, we can do a team viewer and we can try to fix it up.
