Configure VLAN on Accelar 1200 & Baystack 450-24T??

[jrobs]

Hey,

I'm a newbie to networking and can't get my PCs upstairs to ping the server downstairs. Here's the config:

Upstairs: Baystack 450-24T, all ports in VLAN 60. All ports are untagged, and port 25 is a fiber module (untagged access) that jumps downstairs to the Accelar 1200 via fiber to slot 3/2. IP range is 10.1.60.x/24 for computers. The switch is 10.1.60.10. The interface 3/2 on the Accelar in the network room is 10.1.60.1 but not part of the VLAN. When I add it to the VLAN it won't take an IP for that port.

Server Room: Baystack 450-24T as well, 1 port is part of VLAN 60 with the server attached, with ip 10.1.60.2. The switch IP is 10.1.100.10, as I was going to subnet everything in the server room in that range. The fiber port 25 jumps to the Accelar onto port 3/1.

Sooooooo....I need the computers to see their server! How do I tell the Accelar to route traffic from 3/2 to 3/1? And why does adding a port to the VLAN make it so I can't assign an IP? Although I can give the VLAN itself an IP, I can't ping it from anywhere except within the switch itself.

Any thoughts? (sorry to be so long winded, I've been playing with this for 4 days straight!) Any help is greatly appreciated...

On the 450 upstairs in the VLAN Port Configuration make sure the PVID is also 60

VLAN is where you listen and you may listen to many VLANs
PVID is where you transmit and you can only transmit on one PVID
On 450 in server room one port is VLAN 60 and PVID 60
Fiber port is TAGGED and is both VLAN 60 and whatever else proly VLAN 1 PVID is unimportant but prolly 1 (since all packets here will be tagged we transmit eavy packet with its own PVID)

On the Accelar yes the VLAN has a single IP adress on the Accelar no matter how many ports, but at least one port needs to be up or the VLAN is down and cannot be pinged
Ports 3/1 and 3/2 both need to be in VLAN 60 Port 3/1 is tagged and is also a member of some other VLAN

Jim, thanks for the help!

So will the Accelar automatically route from 3/2 to 3/1 since they're on the same VLAN, even though the destination switch is on a different subnet? Or do I need to create a static-route statement. If I open the network mask from /24 to /16 on the 450 will that let the traffic through?

Thanks again!

whoa I thought the server and the computers upstairs were both on subnet 10.1.60.x (as would be VLAN 60 in the Accelar) no routing is needed to get from the server to the upstairs

the Management port of the switch is on a different VLAN, but that does not affect traffic to ports in VLAN 60 In VLAN VLAN you choose which VLAN has the management port

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

Hmm, I think you're making this more difficult than it really is. To get two switches to find eachother, just give them ip-adresses on the same subnet, and then assign the ports to the same VLAN (60 or whatever).
Then they should be able to find eachother.

Or am I missing the point?

OK, I'm back...
I'm using the Device Manager for the Accelar 1200 and I can't add a port to 2 different VLANs! If I have port 1/1 and 1/2 in VLAN 60, then I try to create VLAN 70 and make it 1/1 and 2/1, it takes 1/1 out of 50. Is there a setting somewhere that says each port can only be in 1 VLAN?

Thanks!

Hi Josh

yes you cannot make same port the member of diffrent port based VLAN. if you want to do that you will have to make that particular port a tagged port.

Hope this help
