Title: Pls advise me how to set the VLAN in Endian 2.5
Post by: ducvt on Wednesday 29 May 2013, 12:22:38 pm
Dear All,
I have 2 interfaces in my endian FW 2.5.1 community version.
One is used for WAN (connected to ADSL Router) and other to the local network. I have segregated the network using VLANS on the switch Cisco (2 VLANS) VLAN 16:172.16.x.x, VLAN 17:172.17.x.x
Problem is when connect Cisco Switch to Green interface(172.16.1.1), Endian only detected ip from VLAN, can not see ip from VLAN 17.
Please advise me, how to config on Endian or Switch for Endian can detect and manager both VLANs?

Why do you have a VLAN?  They segregate your network, which makes it so devices can not talk to each other without being routed.

In order for EFW to route traffic from a VLAN, it must have an IP address inside the VLAN's network.  The only way to achieve this that I know of is to add a third network interface.  You could try adding an extra IP address to the green interface, then bridge the two greens together, but that goes beyond my knowledge of Linux.

Thanks for your advice, we have VLAN because we have 2 groups in LAN and i dont want they talk to each other(avoid packet sniffer in LAN) , any suggestions about that?

Endian does support VLans under Network, Interfaces, VLAN.  You do need to have the switch port in trunk mode otherwise you will lock yourself out.
