HELP!!! Dell Power Connect 3324, I need to add a Router.
Hello,
My company has Dell Power-connect 3324 Switch, I need to add a router to the Switch. (I bought Net gear N300)
The Switch is currently connected to 19 computers, i just need a wireless router to hook up surveillance camera to it.
WHERE DO I START?
Modem to Router to Switch to Server?
Or do i connect the Router straight to the switch?
All the ports on the switch are taking by computers, Their is G1 & G2 open.
After i hook up the router, do i need to do any settings changes to the Switch? or configurations?
Thank you VERY MUCH

Yes, you would connect the switch straight to the router. G1 / G2 would be the preferred port for connection to the router for the best traffic flow.
Here is a link to the User Guide for the 3324 switch.

I'm not familiar with the Net Gear N300 so this may or may not work. This is how you would set up connection of two VLAN aware devices on the 3324 side. If you have VLANs set up on the 3324 you would need to set up a trunk or general mode on the port you choose to let the vlans traverse over to the Net Gear router.
console# configure
console(config)# interface ethernet xxx
console(config-if)# switchport mode trunk (or general)
console(config-if)# switchport trunk (or general) allowed vlan add xxx tagged
console(config-if)# end
Hope this helps,
Let us know if you have any further questions.
