I have a Dell EMC N1524 switch which need to configure VLANs. The switch have 24 ports and I assigned Te1/0/1 for pfSense router firewall. The IP and DHCP are from this pfSense include internet services. Te rest 23 ports are assigned as 23 vlans, so each port can't meet each other unless the port connecting to the pfSense. When I configure VLANs on this switch, all access ports unable to access to the internet. Currently I factory-default the switch for internet connection to all the ports which is bad.
Can someone assist on this?
The access ports/community failed to get internet/ unable to ping to the gateway once the VLAN config uploads.
Hello, I can't directly help with configuration but it might be related to your VLAN routing and inter-VLAN please check page 1213-1216 https://dell.to/3rqFdJi
Please check VLANs are interconnected through to router. I would check ping to the router gateway IP reachable or not and I'd check to see if routes to those VLANs have been added to the router gateway.
Hope that helps!

The VLANs are within same network. For example: The pfsense which connects to Dell EMC N1524 switch thru gateway 172.16.0.1. When I configured switch for management IP:
interface vlan 1 ip address 172.16.0.254 /16 ip default-gateway 172.16.0.1,
I'm able to ping gateway and able to access to the management web interface thru 172.16.0.254. When I starts to configure vlans, the connection from switch has been disconnected. Do we need IP routing even the switch handling data within same network? If need, can assist on how to configure the IP routing?
Hi, I'm not sure really. We missing something. Maybe between the firewall and switch port needed to configure as a trunk port. I was trying to find out a whitepaper or best practice for the N series. The closest thing I could find is this. https://dell.to/3RvQIJV
Also, this article might be helpful to brainstorm please take a look at it. This is why I thought inter-vlan and routing, it's a very good article https://dell.to/3SxDpKi

I have gone through the documents from the link you gave. Since the pfsense that connects to the Dell switch are through pfsense gw 172.16.0.1. The hosts that connect to the Dell switch must contain IP's from 172.16.0.2 to 172.16.0.254. In this case my PC's IP is 172.16.0.25. When I configured Dell switch pfsense connect interface te1/0/1 as trunk, my PC able to access internet and access the firewall webui and the switch able to ping to gw 172.16.0.1. When I starts configuring switch ports to VLAN, the connections down. I even plugged-out pfsense cable from Dell switch when config and reboots still the same no connection.
We know that we miss something. Can please assist is this because of adding DNS IP to the switch?
As Erman mentioned we don't really do initial configuration on the forum.We have Deployment Service that can be contracted for that. If you need that you could contact Sales for a quote.
