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.
