Hi all,
I have two 3com 5500G that I need to configure for VLAN (with possible additional 5500g coming in the future).
My understanding is that 5500G can do layer 3 and therefore can act as a router (for VLAN purposes). Right?
The network in the office is currently configured by sending everything through a server (ie: everyone is connected to the server and the server does the DHCP - as far as I can understand for now). The ISP router (that I cannot touch) is connected to Server that is then connected to switches).
What I wanted to do is "plug" one of my 5500G (the one that will act as the router) into the server and then the second 5500g into that first one.
Server --- 5500G (1) --- 5500G (2)
I have already configured the 5500Gs with the vlan settings and everything seem fine on that side.
I am just confused/lost for the 5500G (1) and its connection to the server, how do I configure so that it gets an IP from the server and then propagates that one to my VLAN (so they can access the network)?
Sorry if it is all a bit unclear; it's my first professional experience (I'm doing my work placement experience), the only experience I have is playing with Cisco gear in a lab environment...
Thanks in advance guys!
