Hi Zyxel Melen, Before I answer your questions, I should mention that I discovered that all three switches were isolated from each other through the Firewalla ports, so I moved the two new GS1900-24E switches to a master/slave arrangement where their uplinks connect to the original GS1900-24. This has eliminated the…

Hi Zyxel Melen, I wrote an extensive reply to you, but since I didn’t send it until later in the day it was lost when I tried to post it! At this point, I believe the issue is likely due to the Firewalla router/firewall. I power cycled the Firewalla after some issues I was having and the management traffic with DHCP fixed…

I am thinking of creating a VLAN 1 on the Firewalla and change the network type to VLAN to see if that will work. That should send tagged traffic to the GS1900, so I will need to tag the trunk port 24 to accept that traffic.

When I first added in the 2 new switches, the Firewalla registered both of them as devices on its native LAN management network. I had configured each switch to use a static IP on the Firewalla management network. I could then ping each of the switches from a laptop on a PVID 1 port of any of the switches. I could also…

The management traffic from the firewall is untagged, but on the same interface as the VLAN tagged traffic. That is on port 24 of each switch which is set to the default PVID 1. Tagged traffic is being sent to each access port that has the same PVID as the VLANs that I created on the firewall. I have a couple of additional…
