VLAN Help...Not sure how to configure

Hi guys,

Okay this is (substituting local IPs in for live IPs) my setup:

vlan1: ipaddress 192.168.1.197 mask 255.255.255.252 gateway 192.168.1.196

vlan2: ipaddress 192.168.1.209 mask 255.255.255.248 gateway 192.168.1.208

My uplink is vlan1 (ports 1,3-24) and I have a server connected to vlan2 (port 2). The way that the IPs are assigned to me (without vlanning), I used to use 192.168.1.1 as the default gateway.

With the vlanning set up like that, I can't connect to anything (which makes sense, since something or other has to reach 192.168.1.1 since that's the gateway to my uplink), but I don't know how to fix that.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
 
After you create the VLANs you have to enable IP forwarding in order to forward packets between the VLAN

enable ipforwarding
 
It looks like your default gateway is not in the same subnet. You will have to make sure that 192.168.1.1 is in the same VLAN subnet as VLAN 2 for the Extreme to route the traffic.

I go with ExtremeTek, you need to enable IP forwarding in both the VLAN's.

Or change the IP address of your server to 192.168.1.208.
