Dell 6248P - VLAN, DHCP, Wireless AP's

Hi,


I am attempting to set up a VLAN for guest wireless traffic to go through our main switches and out to an ADSL router but I am running into some difficulties.

We have 3 Unifi AP-AC model access points. Each access point has a physical network connection to 1 out of 4 Dell 6248 switches which are currently in a single managed stack like so.


AP 1 -> Switch 1 Port 40

AP 2 -> Switch 2 Port 36

AP 3 -> Switch 3 Port 17


The managed stack and AP's are currently using the 192.168.1.0/24 on VLAN 1 - Default and I have created a VLAN 10 - Guest.

The APs have two SSID WLANs, "corporate" which is also on the 192.168.1.0/24 range and a "guest" which is on 192.168.99.0/24. I have set the "guest" to tag its traffic with VLAN 10 and no DHCP is set.


I have set the 3 ports above as General Mode, Allowing Any frames and in VLAN - 1 these are untagged and VLAN - 10 they are tagged.

I have also set a Zyxell Router with a static address of 192.168.99.254 into Switch 4 Port 24 and set this to Trunk mode for VLAN 10.

The router is set to provide DHCP for the 192.168.99.0/24 range.


Now when I connect a laptop to our "coporate" WLAN, everything works fine. I receive an DHCP address from our server and I can reach everything as normal.

When I connect to the "guest" WLAN, I do not receive a DHCP address. If I set a static address I am unable to ping the router.

Could someone tell me if my setup is correct?

Hi Daniel,

Apologies for the late reply. The router is the only one in that port for VLAN 10 since this will be the DHCP device. The default VLAN (1) does have its own router and DHCP. I am not sure which ports they are under so I will have to find out.

As for my config here it is:

console#show running-config

Hi Dan,

Thanks I just noticed that myself however I was still getting no traffic until I added the routing rule and changed the port type to Access Mode VLAN 10.

Thanks for the help!

I have a similar situation except that the router (pfsense)is giving out DHCP on one port for several VLANS how would you configure it in that instance?
