CSS610-8G VLAN config

SwOS
1

Hi,
I got a strange problem setting up simple VLAN on my new CSS610 - firmware 2.17:

  • configured VLANs: 1 - default; 10 - Clients; 51 - IoT
  • Port 1 is connected to my Core-Switch as trunk.
  • Port 8 is connected as trunk to a WIFI-AP with separate SSIDs for each VLAN
  • VLAN 1, 10, 51 are assigned to port 1 and 8
  • VLAN mode on both ports is “enabled”, VLAN receive: “any”, default VLAN is 1

Problem is that all WIFI devices in VLAN 51 don’t have internet access while I do not have any problems with WIFI devices in VLAN 10 altough both VLANs are configured absolutely the same. I reconnected my old switch and VLAN 51-devices were working again - so the access point shouldn’t cause the problem.

Any idea how to get VLAN 51 working?

Many thanks :slight_smile:

It’s aliens. :wink:

Seriously: CSS doesn’t treat any VID differently than others (possibly the exception is VID=1 which should be always used only for untagged pprts to avoid probable misbehaviours) … so I’ve no idea what might be a problem based on your description.

I just put the CSS in my old sock and it is just perfectly working right now (if you rermember the alien episode of Al Bundy…) :smiley:

But seriously it was my mistake because I just set the VLAN hooks at the far right column of ports which is not port 8 but SFP+2… :unamused: So - great introduction here from my side :wink:

Do not use VLAN 1 for anything - unless there is a specific requirement to do so for some attached device. Too many devices that treat VLAN 1 “special” - and most will not tell you that.
