Hi all, I formatted the file system on the dell switch, flashed the latest firmware and re-did the whole setup. Now its working flawless! I have disabled RIP on the switch and on the wireless bridge. I think the switch was unstable. Thank you all for the inputs. Next thing I want to do is to serve DHCP from a VLAN. I will add five ports to a new vlan and the have the VLAN run the DHCP. Is it even possible? Is the switch capable of running DHCP or do I have to relay to an actual DHCP server running in a Windows/Linux box?
Hi guys. I am not a network guy but I am trying to learn. I have a layer 3 power-connect switch. What I am trying to do is have three vlans with inter vlan routing enabled, and then routing enabled globally, two vlans will have computers attached to them, the third one will connect to my router and will use the routers address as the default gateway on the switch. Heres my config, sorry I don't have access to the switch right now so this is not the exact config,  vlan 5 (192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0) port 1/g5 switch port mode general, switchport general allowed vlan add 5, switchport general pvid 5 vlan 10 (192.150.3.1 255.255.255.0) port 1/g13 switch port mode general, switchport general allowed vlan add 10, switchport general pvid 10 vlan 20(192.150.4.1 255.255.255.0) port 1/g14 switch port mode general, switchport general allowed vlan add 20, switchport general pvid 20 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1  (this is the routers address) Routing is enabled globally along with the vlans. I can get pcs on the two vlans(10 &20) to talk to each other. I can also ping the routers IP from the switch but I can't ping the routers IP from the pcs attached to the two vlans or get inetner on the pcs. I dunno what I am missing. I am not even sure if its possible.  Another thing I have noticed is even though I can ping the routers address from the switch I can't ping any internet address. I have also added two static routes on the router to point to the two vlan IPs. static route 192.150.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.150.3.1  static route 192.150.4.0 255.255.255.0 192.150.4.1   Thanks in advance.
