I am trying to set up my Flex 500H with 5 Vlans, all using separate ports instead of router-on-a-stick style.

Can someone assist me with the setup on the Flex 500H (I am a previous Cisco guy).

How do I setup the base ports (ip addresses, etc)?

I will use one vlan for management, and can set up the vlans but do not know how to setup all the base ports such as do they need their own ip addresses? If so, do I use one subnet for the base ports (192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.5, 192.168.1.5)?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi @jayd691

    VLAN is based on ethernet interface, so, please ensure each port are ethernet interface member (ge3 and ge4 in my example video). Then, add VLAN interface for specific port.

    You can assign IP address for the VLAN interface or not. And different VLAN interfaces will have different IP addresses and subnet ranges.

    Hope it helps.

    From what I read its like you want many VLAN's on the same subnet?
