IP Conflict on VLAN

hello guys,

Here is my current config on 5406.

As you can see, I have port A3 untagged on the default vlan1 and tagged on vlan3 and vlan4. When i connect my computer to port A3 and statically assign the following:

ip: 10.20.20.10
sn: 255.255.255.0
dg: 10.20.20.1
dns: 4.2.2.1

i get an error message saying:

"The static IP address that was just configured is already in use on the network. Please reconfigure a different IP address."

This is a new vlan and I dont have any other device connected on this network in that IP range/subnet.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance

Now if only A3 is untagged it on vlan3 (10.20.20.0/24), and I try to connect with the static ip configuration i am able to connect without a problem. Doesnt that mean that my routing is setup fine? If that is the case what else could be causing the problem?

[Tom Hardy]

Another update :) Things just get wierder.

So looks like everytime i connect my pc to port A3 which is only untagged on any one vlan, and assign static ip for that vlan, i am able to connect fine. BUT if i tag a vlan on top on port A3, and can still connect on the untagged vlan but cant connect to the tagged vlan using the static ip information for that tagged vlan, & get the message :

"The static IP address that was just configured is already in use on the network. Please reconfigure a different IP address."

Please help.

When you connect your computer to port A3, unless your computer is configured to use 802.1Q tagging (unlikely, unless you have specifically set this up), then your computer is going to be in VLAN 1.

According to the static configuration you are using, VLAN 1 consists of 10.20.20.xxx based on the ip address and subnet mask.

According to the config on the 5406, the switch has an interface on VLAN 1 as well, 192.168.30.2 and the subnet is 192.168.30.xxx according to the vlan 1 configuration. You are trying to use two different subnets for VLAN 1, which can make things unhappy.

It looks like you are trying to put your computer into vlan 3 by changing the ip address. This won't work.

To give your computer that ip address and have it be on VLAN 3, have vlan 3 untagged on the desired port.

Thanks for the reply which totally makes sense.

So now i avoided the non 802.1q compatible device (pc) issue and am now using a polycom 501 ip phone which is 802.1q compatible.

I am connecting this phone to port A3(tagged) on VLAN 4 with DHCP server located on VLAN 1 (192.168.30.90). Still not able to get to the internet. I do see it appear in DHCP lease.

(I have already tested by making port A3 untagged on vlan 4 on a computer and am able to get to the internet so that tells me that my routes are setup correctly).

Do you see anything wrong with my config file or do you guys think its a phone config issue?

[Evert Goor]

Please upgrade to switch to k12.57 firmware.
There are some weird bugs in the early k11 releases. After the upgrade try it again.

"I am connecting this phone to port A3(tagged) on VLAN 4 with DHCP server located on VLAN 1 (192.168.30.90). Still not able to get to the internet. I do see it appear in DHCP lease."

Does A3 only have tagged vlan 4 on it at this point or is there also an untagged vlan as well?

You have to make sure your polycom (even though it supports 802.1q) is configured to use 802.1q and is also configured to transmitt/use VLAN 4.

They polycom needs to know it is transmitting on VLAN 4. It will then modify the frame headers to specify a 802.1q frame on vlan 4. When the switch receives this, it dumps it into vlan 4. If this device isn't configured to do so, the switch will place it in the untagged vlan or drop it.

Your DHCP server may be handing out the IP, but doing so on the untagged vlan, which explains why traffic afterwards doesn't actually work once it gets an IP.

[Tom Hardy]

Thanks for the reply guys.

Phone is configured for vlan 4. I see it pulling an IP from vlan 4 subnet (192.168.10.x/24). I can ping it from the 5406 switch and my cisco router (192.168.30.1) which is nat'ed to the WAN.

I have also tried making the phone public and i can connect to the phone from the outside (WAN) on port 80. But the phone is not registering with the provider. It need to connect to a ftp server to register.

[Tom Hardy]

oh and A3 is untagged on vlan1 and tagged on vlan4

[Tom Hardy]

so another test that i just did was to make A3 UNTAGGED on VLAN 4. When i connect a computer to it it pulls a (192.168.10.x) ip and can connect to the internet fine.

But when i put the same cable in the phone, it does not register with the provider. REALLY WIERD!!!!
