PowerConnect 6224 and VLANs with subnets
Hi All,
I have a PowerConnect 6224. I'm trying to create 2 VLANs, "2 - Servers", "3 - SAN". Making the VLANs works fine, but then I want to assign a subnet to each VLAN. For VLAN 2 I want to assign 10.0.1.0/16 and for VLAN 3 I want to assign 10.0.2.0/16. I enter in the following command:
vlan association subnet 10.0.1.0 255.255.0.0 2
And the switch takes it. When I do show vlan association subnet I get:
IP Subnet IP Mask VLAN ID
--------- ----------- -------
10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 2
As you can see it it didn't create the 10.0.1.0 subnet but ended up assigning the original 10.0.0.0 subnet to VLAN 2. How do I make this work? I'm a complete noob at configuring these switches, but I've been digging into the manual for the whole week and I'm not making progress.
Ultimatelly, I just want to create the following:
10.0.0.0/16 - Peripherals (Firewall, printers, APs, etc)
10.0.1.0/16 - Servers
10.0.2.0/16 - SAN(s)
10.0.3.0/16 - Clients
One thing I'm trying to accomplish with the VLANs is to just get the domain to work because none of the servers see the DC. All machines are fresh installations as well...
Anyway, if someone can point me in the right direction on how to setup the VLANs and subnets I'd really appreciate it.

I might be wrong but I think it's because you're using the /16. You should be using /24. /16 would be changing the second octet not the third and I really doubt you need thousands of IP addresses to do what you want to do.

I have my own Dell 6248 switch problems with Vlans that I need to get resolved. But I can say that from the looks of it, you are using a /16 mask which for your subnets are essentially on the same subnet (10.0.x.x). You may want to use a /24 instead to provide proper subnetting of 10.0.1.x and 10.0.2.x and even your clients.
I hope it works out for you!
