Two issues I want to discuss.
A. In Winbox, I cannot access devices by IP address, I have to use MAC addresses.
Its not a big deal but it may be a contributor to the other issue. This applies to the Router and to the CapACs. The switches are direct via IP on the browser and simply work.
B. When I fire up Winbox, I can see
-router
-260GS switch
-260GSP switch
-capac2
However I cannot see my capac1 and cannot figure out why not??
Network Information:
- All devices get DHCP from homevlan XX.
- All devices have a pvid of 1 as the default (on switches and on bridges of router and capacs)
- Capac2: router to 24port dlink switch to capac2
- Capac1: router to Dlink switch to 260GSP switch to capac1
- I cannot discern any difference of the bridge setup on either capac.
Conclusion, there is some setting on the 260GSP switch or DLINK switch that may be preventing visibility of the capac to the router.
Looking at my excel sheet of port and device connectivity it appears I may not have identified port 1 on the etherport of the dlink switch heading to the 260GSP.
Okay that was a false lead, all the trunk ports on the Dlink switch have the native vlan set as 1, the trunk allowed vlans in associated ports do not include vlan1, ingress checking is enabled and admit all frames types is enabled. Since this is the same for all trunk ports including the visible capac2, I am ruling out the DGS-1100 as being the potential source of the issue.
That leaves me pondering the setup of the 260GSP.
VLAN MENU:
-
Trunk port on Switch is on the SFP port.
{ingress}
Vlanmode=enabled
Vlanreceive=any
DefaultVlan=1
{egress}
Vlanheader= leave as is -
Capac1 port on Switch is on Port 3 (poe fluctuates between 169-174mA, and 4.0-4.1W)
{ingress}
Vlanmode=enabled
Vlanreceive=any
DefaultVlan=1
{egress}
Vlanheader= leave as is
VLANS MENU:
VLANID=1 [To CapAC1] =Leave as is / Fm DlinkSwitch] =Leave as is
VLANID=XX [To CapAC1] =Leave as is / Fm DlinkSwitch] =Leave as is
Nothing I can see that should lead me to suspect the switch.
Perplexed!
