Tagging a new VLAN for SonicWALL SonicPoint

Tagging a new VLAN for SonicWALL SonicPoint

I have a SonicPoint in one building that I got to work with the router in another by creating a VLAN on the two switches:

Sonic config:

X2    WLAN     10.10.120.150     255.255.255.0

HP Switches:

Default_VLAN (Primary):              Tagged (none)                  Untagged 1-45, 47-48

V300:                                                    Tagged 48 (uplink)         Untagged 46 (SonicPoint and SonicWALL X2 both use port 46 on their respective switches)

This works great. 

 

But today I have a request to make a guest network, for when we have visitors.  I configured this with SonicWALL's support, so I know that part is right:

X2               WLAN          10.10.120.150     255.255.255.0

X2:V100   Guest Wifi  10.10.130.150     255.255.255.0

 

My question: what do I need to do on my HP switches?  Just adding V100 for port 46 doesn't make sense - how is it going to know to send 10.120 down V300 and 10.130 down V100?

 

P.S. This thread has been moved from Switches, Hubs, Modems (Legacy ITRC forum) to ProCurve / ProVision-Based. -HP Forum Moderator

Re: Tagging a new VLAN for SonicWALL SonicPoint

You add VLAN100 as "tagged" on port 46, and do the same thing on the corresponding Sonicwall interface. It ehn knows which VLAN is which because the frames sent on VLAN100 are in 8021q fomrat, which means they have additional header information containing the VLAN ID.

Thanks, Vince!  I'll try it out Saturday, when there's less traffic.

No go.  Here's what I have:

WIFI Setup on SonicWALL

X2              WLAN            10.10.120.150

X2:V100  Guest Wifi    10.10.130.150

 

Switches are both ProCurve 2810-48G

SonicPoint Location, Switch B (Port 46 = SonicPoint, Port 48 = Uplink to Switch A)

Port                       DEFAULT_VLAN        V100                 V200              V300

All Other Ports  Untagged                    No                      No                   No

46                           No                                  No                      No                   Untagged

48                           Untagged                    Tagged            No                   Tagged

 

SonicWALL Location, Switch A (48 = SonicWALL X2, 10 = Uplink to Switch B)

Port                       DEFAULT_VLAN        V100                V200                V300

All Other Ports  Untagged                    No                     No                     No

48                           No                                  No                     No                     Untagged

10                           Untagged                   Tagged            No                     Tagged

 

Any ideas?  Corporate (WLAN) works, Guest WIFI does not.

And since any VLAN can have only one tagged port, I could only try tagging 46 or 48 - but either way (with the corresponding setting on the other switch,) it didn't work.

You can tag a VLAN on as many switch ports as you like
