Since your 2 VLANs do not need to communicate with each other you should be able to get this to work.  The easiest method to achieve this would be to have your production on VLAN 1, and the second network on VLAN 2. Assign an IP address to the switch with the command # ip address.  Assign a default gateway with the command # ip default-gateway. Create VLAN 2: Console (config)# vlan database Console (config-vlan)# vlan 2 Set ports 11-14 to access mode for VLAN 2 console(config-if)# switchport mode access console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2 Set ports 48 to trunk or General mode. console(config-if)# switchport mode Trunk console(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 2 That should get you pretty close to a working environment. You may run into some issue with VLAN 2 communicating with 192.168.1.0, may just need to set it up and test. Here are some links to firmware and manuals that may help.  Firmware. [URL] Manuals.

Hello world, i'm actually working on 2 PowerConnect 5448 switches but i'm quite lost in VLAN config. My arch : [IMAGE] My needs are the following : - i have 2 different networks which have to be isolated in different VLAN  - i want port 11-14 to be used for backup network, all others have to be used for production network. - this 2 networks have to transit by port 48 (fiber)  How can i configure this kind of network on powerconnect interface (or via telnet) ? My understood is the following, I've to create 2 differents VLANs, tag all ports, switch to trunk mode all ports the assign each port to the appropriated VLAN. Am i right ? How to do this for the fiber port ?  Thanks in advance for your help on this topic.
