Unreliable connection between switches with VLANs

I just had a look at config of appr1-dsw1, I’ll assume the rest suffer from same errors. Here’s a brief list of things done wrong:

  • no need for multiple bridges (MGMT is on different bridge, which doesn’t have any access towards the rest of network)
  • no PVID setting for access ports
  • there’s no need for vlan interfaces for VLANs which are only handled by switch for switching purposes
  • IP config is incomplete - missing default gateway. Even if the L2 setup was correct, this alone would prevent switch from accessing internet (but should be fine to access other switches and router though). Also beware of running DHCP server on management VLAN … when all devices will see each other, there will be multiple DHCP servers serving same L2/L3 subnet. Beware of static IP addresses, if all switches are left to same IP address, they will overlap when mgmt vlan gets sorted out.

I recommend you to go through this fine tutorial on how to do VLANs in ROS properly. Concentrate on post titled “Switch with a separate router (RoaS)”.
