  OK, so you just need to do an Import-Csv inside the loop and change the variables accordingly.

• Connection problems SSID with several VLANs

  Hi all

  I'm having a little problem getting a device to associate with an access point and enter an IP via DHCP on a particular SSID. This access point has two VLANs, with two different SSID configured. The configuration is locked. For some reason I can't connect to 2 SSID on my wireless device, but the SSID works very well. I see authentication through the newspaper, so I know that the pre-shared key is correct, but may not enter an IP address (which makes me think I have a problem in the bridge group). Any thoughts?

  Also, I tried both a trunk port and an access port on the switch that is connected to the access point. With both, I can connect and enter an address IP of the VLAN 20 (SSID 1), but not to VLAN 10 (2 SSID).

  Your bridge-groups do not have the tail. You have 10 VLANS mapped to bridge-Group 1 on the FastEthernet interface but mapped to bridge-group 10 on the radio just remove the bridge Group 1 of the main radio interface and apply it to the subinterface dot0.10.

• SA520W VPN from Site to Site with several VLANs

  Hello

  I have a customer here with several VLANS in their places who wants to set up a VPN from Site to site between 2 devices SA520W. Unfortunately I can not find a way to set it up. In the VPN policy, I can choose between everything (which is not what I want, I want only traffict between subnets the routed via VPN), IP address unique, a beach (in a subnet) and a subnet itself - but only one. I don't find a way to configure several subnets in the selection of local traffic and remotely. Adding another IKE policy between the 2 sites does not either (which is good normally).

  Any ideas? Anything I'm doing wrong?

  Thank you for your help.

  Best regards

  Thomas

  I know that if you have an ASA or a router, you can define as VLANS to pass through the tunnel.

  Do not have access to a SA520W to test...

  A recommendation might be to post the question on the SMB community where they answered questions related to this product, just to check what other people did.

  Need of advice and suggestion

  Hello Saad,

  If I understand your scenario, you have 2-38 or 16 VLAN for each unit. To ensure exactly the addressing specific IP must be assigned to the user, you must create groups of AP and add AP group particular AP. Let's say for the 1st floor that you used the subnet 192.168.1.0/24 and AP-group1 so all the first floor AP will be in AP group1. In addition to browse documents cisco you will get any idea on AP groups concept.

  In order to obtain roaming when users move from one unit to another unit we configure mobility in the controller. As OSPF is already running then you have reach-ability between the controller.

  Hope this information helps you.

• Disorders from several VLANS layer 2 layer 3

  Hello

  We have a layer switch 3 PowerConnect 6248 switch with multiple VLANs and active routing and also a layer 2 with a PowerConnect 5324 switch couple VLANS configured.  My goal is to have several VLANs, through level 3 for the layer 2 switch switch and all VLANS communicate between them.

  I followed the steps under the 3 layer + Layer section 2 to the title of this post:

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../19506015

  Unfortunately, it does not work.

  Here is my current set up and what I tried. My configuration is made via the web interface.

  The 6248 has VLAN 1, 64, 110, 150 and some other configured on the switch. The IP address of the 6248 is 192.168.64.1.  I'm trying to get some vlan 150 and 110 for the layer switch 2 for may I have some ports in the service of vlan vlan portion 150 and some 110.

  I have the IP routing (routing > IP > Interface Configuration) for vlan 150 as 192.168.150.1/24 and vlan 110 as 192.168.110.1/24.

  The 5324 is connected to the 6248 via a port (connected to the port 1 of the 5324 and 18 the 6248).  18 on the 6248 port is currently configured as general / Admit All/PVID 150.  Port 1 on the 5324 is currently configured for the same, but with a PVID of the 1.  150 of VLAN is sent without the label of the 6248 switch and vlan 110 is sent labeled.

  5324 switch is configured with an IP 192.168.150.2 and a gateway of 192.168.150.1.  I am able to access the web interface of the switch and connect machines in any port and get on the 192.168.150.0 subnet.  I created a vlan 110 on the 5324 and it the tag on ports 1 and 4, but port 4 will not any traffic to vlan 110. I tried many settings of belonging to port / vlan various which have all resulted in failure.

  I would greatly appreciate help on this.  It seems that such an easy feat, but I just can't understand it.  I have attached some pictures for people to see.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  I had figured it out.  I enabled Double VLAN on the trunk of the 6248 switch port and it works now.

• VLANS, DHCP, subnet, gateways and Multipathing Setup Question

  Hi, I have a House VI3 test network configured like this:

  Netgear wireless router,

  Adapter plugged into Port A1 of HP Procurve wireless game layer of 4000 M 2 switch with 802. 1 q (provides the uplink to my router upstairs that serves internet)

  VLAN by default 1 is 192.168.1.X/24

  On this switch, I have 2 ESX boxes with 4 cards each, Openfiler iSCSI target and a Windows XP Pro box running my Virtual Center.

  I have a Virtual Machine that running SBS2003 with also serves as my DNS server and my DHCP server.

  SBS2003 - 192.168.1.6

  Gateway (router Netgear) 192.168.1.1

  ESX1 - 192.168.1.10

  ESX2 - 192.168.1.11

  XP Pro - 192.168.1.50

  Well, with that of the road, my question is I want to set up a VLAN on my switch Procurve to separate traffic by default network, iSCSI and vMotions traffic.  By ESX Server best practices. to install a second Nic vKernel or SVC Nic console, they must be on a separate subnet with a defined gateway.  If I create a new vLAN for iSCSI and assign a network adapter, the network traffic will not be able to see my gateway. I also need my DHCP server to receive requests from any computer on any vLAN individual and issue a corresponding IP address.

  Now, what should I do?  If I create a vLAN Tirtiary or the second, I'm not able to see the DHCP server of these VLANS?  I can only UNTAG a port in 1 vLAN and port of marking abandon any connection to my DHCP server.  On this switch I assign IP addresses for individual VLANs, but this did not help.  DHCP isn't bradcasting across multiple VLANs. Am I missing a piece of hardware to provide ACLs or something?

  I don't know where to go from here, please help.

  Hello

  To route between VLANs, you must be a switch of layer 3, is a router configured as "a router on a stick", which is essentially a port of the switch, configured as a trunk, connected to the router that is configured with a number of interfaces, one for each VLAN so that it can route traffic between the VLANS. Now create a VLAN for VMotion traffic is fine as has no need to be routed. The VLAN for iSCSI and VLAN to the Service console will have to be sent to iSCI work properly. DHCP can work through several VLANS but need aid IP to be configured on the switch.

  Concerning

• PowerConnect 5448 several VLANS between upstream and downstream server firewall

  I am struggling with what I thought, would be a simple task: route several subnets, each on one VLAN different, a firewall to a server.  In fact, I can't even pass the VLAN by default one still looking correct in the address tables and STP.

  Port 1 = firewall, VLAN 1 unidentified, 2 VLAN Tag, 1 PVID, tried the two trunk and general patterns

  17 = server NIC, VLAN 1 unidentified port, VLAN Tag, PVID 1 and 2 2, tried, tried both safe and general patterns

  VLAN 1 (firewall untagged) 10.84.195.0/24, 10.84.195.2 Interface IP and default gateway 10.84.195.1

  VLAN 2 (tag of firewall) 10.101.0.0/16, IP Interface 10.101.0.2 for 2 VLAN, firewall est.1

  The first thing I got was that something has not been properly marked by (Hyper-V, using SC VMM 2012 SP1) server or the firewall (Watchguard XTM 520).  Simple test: VPN Firewall, ping the switch to 10.101.0.2 with the tag, and works, remove the label and it doesn't.  Dynamic address table shows the two-way firewall.  Line 18 below appears right after the ping as planned on VLAN 2 with the same MAC address in VLAN 1.  In addition, I ping the switch 10.101.0.2 from the server and it works fine.  The table shows that VLAN 2 from the host (and 1 other VM), so it seems to me that everything is properly labeled.

  	15	VLAN 1	00907f8f571b	G1
  	16	VLAN 2	00155d1f1b07	G17
  	17	VLAN 2	001dd8b71c01	G17
  	18	VLAN 2	00907f8f571b	G1

  What I can't do, is ping through the switch to VLAN 2.  I can't ping my VPN server (10.101.20.1), and I can not ping to the gateway (10.101.0.1) from the server.  Note, it is not because of rules to firewall on each end.

  What Miss me?  I don't think I need a routing of layer 3 here, I don't have to go through VLAN, just have them several VLANS passes from one port to the other.

  Other things to note in case it is useful:

  -I have no connectivity not tag with everything else through the 10.84.195.xxx/24 switch.

  -If I delete the Tags VLAN port 2 1 trunk, I suddenly can ping the bridge VLAN 2 (10.101.0.1) from the server, although I suspect that it is because the same port is the default gateway for the switch.

  -For brevity, only 2 lines of the STP are listed below, but all ports are therefore based on the question of whether they are connected or not.

  G1 activated 128.1 Frw Desg P2P (STP) No. 4
  G2 activated 128.2 Dsbl Dsbl No. 100.

  -Latest firmware installed.

  -In addition, for people concerned about their security, I want to remove use VLAN by default in the future.

  Would it be possible for run you to stick your show output here in the forum.  In this way, we can take closer look at what you have configured.

  If you connect a desktop/laptop computer (with and intellectual property in the 10.101.0.0/16 range) in a port with the mode of access switchport VLAN 2 are you able to ping IP Interface 10.101.0.2 for 2 VLANS?  You could try to disconnect the firewall and the configurations for the port and work on getting through the switch with 2 terminals on a single VLAN.  Then, once this is confirmed as work connect the firewall back up with a trunk/general mode adding the VLAN necessary.

  You connect to the firewall on a layer 3 interface?  You need Layer 3 routing to reach the firewall correctly.

• 1252 config several VLAN trunking on ethernet not

  Hi all I am new to these forums, but have read some posts on configurations for an AP from 1252 to switch 2950.

  I have several VLANS andmultiple SSID configuration on my ap.  The switch knows the VLANS on the access point

  I think that in the config.

  When I put the 2950 in trunk mode on the port, the ap is conencted too, I can see no longer the access point. And none of my ssid / VLAN traffic through the stem net ether to the switch.  I think I have a problem with the config of the ap specifically either in the British Virgin Islands (do not understand this virtual port) or in bridge groups. (Never worked with foredeck groups.)

  The AP is in stand-alone mode.

  Here is my config on the side of the ap.

  51 of VLAN is what I'm trying to trunk more.  VLAN 100 is my networks vlan normal almost everything at the moment.  And my attempt to secure traffic wireless to a new vlan Vlan 300 more course on my local network.

  VLAN 51 has no ip address range

  IP VLAN 100 range is 10.131.10.0

  10.131.11.0 between 300 VLAN

  The routing goes to my switch 3750 core / router, but the access point is conencted to a 2950 namely shared resources to my layer distribution on a stack of 2975.  Once again the vlan 300 works on the 2975 stack and will pull dhcp if it is enabled.  Have not tried this on the 2950 yet, but I suspect it will also work based on the setting of the trunk on the s950 battery of 2975.

  In any case, I want to be able to do is have multiple VLANs configured on the AP (from most secure to least guarantee based on the capabilities of the equipment) and that traffic vlan tag go to my 3750 possibly for other guidelines.

  Here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

  Sincerely,

  Yes, remove the vlan 51 can tell vlan 100 is the native, and there will be a link to bridge - Group 1.  Then change the switch port to vlan 100 native.  You should then be able to reach the access point via telnet/GUI.

  orders will be:

  config t

  No int dot11radio0.51

  No int dot11radio1.51

  No int g0.51

  int dot11radio0.100

  int dot11radio1.100

  100 native encapsulation dot1q

  int g0.100

  encapsulation dot1q 100 natively.

• 4235 IDS Sensor monitoring several VLANS & TCP Reset (packet Injection)

  I understand that the 4235 sensor can receive traffic are split to several VLANs than 802. 1 q tags have been placed on the switches (3750 of in this case).

  I have two questions (account required to the statement above in correct).

  1 is it possible to inject traffic (eg. reset the TCP sessions) in each of VLAN monitored (i.e. the 4235 would mark the package injected with good destination VLAN for the response) or only the native/actual VLAN the SPAN destination.

  2. is the traffic carried by the 4235 as coming from multiple virtual interfaces (eg. for the period of INVESTIGATION purpose spoof detection within each VIRTUAL local area network)?

  Thanks much for the reading of the same day. Any input greatly appriciated.

  On your second question, no. monitored traffic is considered as coming from a single virtual interface. The sensor reads the header of the vlan on the packages wrapped and includes with the alarm and more uses for TCP resets. But, you can apply signatures for traffic VLAN specific sensor is followed.

• Physical cards VSS with multiple virtual local network settings

  I intend to make my hosts vsphere to run virtual machines located on several VLANs. I know that in the world of physical switch, I do uplink switchport trunk and value rising swich as trunk so I can receive the traffic of multiple VLANs. But I don't know where to put uplink physical way of trunk cards. I can only define vmnetwork as trunk (vlan id 4095). How can I reach my goal? Just create several VMNetwork with the id vlan that I wan to accommodate and make virtual machines to connect to these VMNetwork? No parameters in layer vss physical map?

  Just create several VMNetwork with the id vlan that I wan to accommodate and make virtual machines to connect to these VMNetwork? No parameters in layer vss physical map?

  That is right. VLAN tagging is controlled at group and vmkernel port level. You don't have to set anything on the uplink.

• Affecting several VLANS to a Port Group

  Hi all!

  We have 2 switches farm of server connections to the host server. Each of our 8 ESX servers has 4 physical network adapters that support virtual machines. We have 2 network cards to each physical switch. We have a single vSwitch and 2 port VM groups set up on each ESX Server. We use and configuration active / standby in Port groups so we can control what physical move the VM speaks to. All 4 network cards are available for the Group of ports, with connections going to spend 1 active and forward to switch connections 2. It is reversed on the other group of Port.

  We have several VLANS associated with our data center. Is it possible to put the tag VLAN on 2 port groups VM to support multiple VLANs? Otherwise, I think we have to put up a pair of these groups of ports for each VIRTUAL local area network, we want to make it available to the virtual machines on each ESX Server. Is this correct? We have some circuits/EtherChannel enabled on switches that work properly. However, we cannot port VM groups to pass traffic unless label them us, and it seems we can only enter a VIRTUAL local area network in the area.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Steve Hurd, MCSE, CCNA, VCP

  To use the trunks that are coming in your ESX host, you must have your VLAN Tag somewhere along the way.  If you are not at the level of the switch (since you're trunking), you will need to do the vSwitch, either the level of the virtual machine.

  VSwitch level, this by creating exchanges and then marking at the level of the port group.  Marking that is currently happening in the ESX/vSwitch, and your vm must use the port suitable for group the VLAN they need to use.

  Your last option is to tag at the level of the virtual machine itself.  To do this, your vSwitch must use VLAN 4095 tag, which allows all the VLANS to pass through, and all tags are marked.  The portgroup vSwitch here is basically a tunnel and will allow the unmodified traffic, but now, you have to mark your VLAN of the NETWORK adapter in your virtual machine.  It is very effective if you have a large number of virtual machines.  The most practical method will be to create the VLAN-based exchanges at the vSwitch level and go from there.

  Unlettered, somewhere, communication will not incorrectly, as the physical switch will assume that all traffic not marked will even vlan uses unmarked frames (vlan native), and machines on that vlan can communicate each other.

  We just bought a new IMac that we were very excited.  We have phones Apple and iPads, replacement and ten year with a new Mac old PC made since.

  Now, the trouble begins. For more than ten years Windows had several usernames on the same machine and have been able to have a shared folder only for music, pictures and video that my iTunes program and others could acsess and share from several user names. This kept all in one place for new photos families by me or my wife and our 30 gigabytes of music that comes from our CDs was available at bolt of us. Now in train to implement on IMac should be easy but is impossible.  after transferring the music to my login information, it cannot acsess all files on my login. I am not even able to share or provide his acsess. I can move the iTunes folder to my shared folder. She can get acsess now but iTunes says that the library file is locked. I worked with care from Apple on the phone for that sold, but they believe it will not be possible without creating two copies of the 30 gigabytes of music for each of us. who would take more hard drive when it failed too.  Sharing is not any help. These files were before iTunes. I'm not pay 30 dollars a month to store in icloudcor use a google reader slow to the Internet connection when everything's fine here. Apparently Applow programmers do not believe in sharing of multimedia files between two users on the same device, even if a PC does that very well. My choice here is so far have duplicates of all the photos, music and videos loaded on the disc for me and my wife, charge all the media for an external hard drive which for some reason any all Apple programs will share, or return the mac to another PC that will be able to make several connections with sharing music and photos. Apple if you are reading this you are 10 years behind on that. Not everyone is born in the last five years and bought their music on iTunes to be able to use home sharing. Home sharing cannot help this. your applications should be able to be told to use the media files shared without import copies to readers of the user. I am very disappointed. Someone else has any ideas for that?  I have pictures, not iPhoto. I have a week more to be able to return it. I'm not interested in making a fake account that is always connected to share or maintaining of me constantly connected. It should have been easy, I had to be happy to play with new software.

  Photos, iPhoto and iTunes libraries must appear on an external hard drive that is formatted as shown below to be used by multiple users on the same Mac:

  

  So get a properly formatted external HD and move your iPhoto/pictures of her as well as your iTunes library.  This way all your iMac users can access and use both libraries.

  An alternative to the external HD method is to partition your internal hard drive into two partitions, one for libraries.  It is formatted as shown above and be large enough to contain the libraries and allow the expansion of libraries.
