Hello again James,

I really appreciate your help, as I stand at the moment I have no working configuration that does what I want it to. On my test router that is sitting on my desk, VLANs are not supported, but the router that is live does have VLAN support. However, this live router is a cheap solution and it is very likely that this could change at some point. With this in mind, a setup that doesn't rely on a router with VLANs is preferable, but that being said, if I can't achieve this then I will have to use the VLAN features of the router.

It would also be ideal If i could get routing working on the switch, since I will, eventually, use this switch to route between a number of VLANs in this building, and so, although the temporal effect is probably negligible, it seems it would be a better candidate to route between VLANs in this building.

I think i will stop trying to help. If Steven tries to follow two peoples advice at the same time it is not going to work. My fix is based on there being no trunk ports. Wayne's uses trunk ports and i don't think it will work because the internet router do not do vlans.

    That is excellent Wayne, thank you very much.

    I will test this configuration later on today. The DLINK router is
    very dumb and doesn't support VLANs or anything fancy like that.
    However, this is a mock set-up I have running in my office; I know
    the router in the actual network - who's name I can't even
    pronounce - does support VLANs and tagging. So if I can't get it
    running on my set up I will do a live test.

    I'll let you know how it goes.

        Morning

            The internet router is in port 1, the laptop is in port 5.
            I have now set
            the router port as a trunk on the switch.

            Port 5 is on a different subnet to port 1, the laptop is
            10.1.202.0 and the
            router 10.1.201.0

            I set the static addresses of the laptop as follows:
            ip: 10.1.202.10
            subnet: 255.255.255.0
            gateway: 10.1.202.1 (this is the VLAN ip address, I have
            tried giving it the
            router ip address but it didn't work... maybe I should try
            the internet VLAN
            address?)

            It is so close to working!


        I forgot the HP's had trunk (bonded) ports we had trouble with
        those
        so did not use them with the latest firmware, I was referring
        to Vlan
        trunks. Vlans will not be active until one of the un-tagged
        ports is
        up (something connected to it)

        Anyways this is how I would configure it.

        Port 1 on the switch would be the vlan trunk port, this means
        it needs
        to be a member of all the vlans as a tagged port and will be
        connected
        to your router.


        vlan 2
          name "INTERNET"
          untagged 2-5
          ip address 10.1.201.2 255.255.255.0
          tagged 1
          exit
        vlan 3
          name "RESIDENTS"
          untagged 6-24
          ip address 10.1.202.2 255.255.255.0
          tagged 1

          exit
        vlan 4
          name "TEST"
          untagged 25-48
          ip address 10.1.205.3 255.255.255.0
          tagged T1
          exit


        Dlink. I has never used one of these but in the  Cisco world the
        config would look like this

        interface FastEthernet0/0
         description Trunk to HP switch
         no ip address
         full-duplex

        interface FastEthernet0/0.2
         description INTERNET vlan
         encapsulation dot1Q 2
         ip address  10.1.201.1 255.255.255.0

        interface FastEthernet0/0.3
         description RESIDENTS vlan
         encapsulation dot1Q 3
         ip address  10.1.202.1 255.255.255.0

        interface FastEthernet0/0.4
         description TEST vlan
         encapsulation dot1Q 4
         ip address  10.1.205.1 255.255.255.0

        The above configs leave all routing to the router and
        switching to the
        switch, the default gateway for any hosts will be the router's IP
