The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

VLAN help on Dell PowerConnect 6200 Series and BT HomeHub

Asked by Krys_K in Network Design & Methodology, Network Switches & Hubs, Network Routers

Tags: VLANS, BT Homehub, Dell Powerconnect 6200 Series Layer 3 Switch

Hi Experts

My network skills are fairly basic and have a problem trying to set up vlans on a layer3 swtich that will:
talk to the broadband router to go out to the internet
get its DHCP details from the router too
talk to each other vlan attached devices

I have tried to set up VLAN 5,7,9 leaving 1 as default.
VLAN 1 management VLAN
VLAN 5 has the servers and NAS box
VLAN 7 has the PC's and laptops
VLAN 9 is the Router/internet devices

It seems that i can only connect to the router if its on the same VLAN as my PC's (BT router can have multiple addresses 192.168.7.254 and 192.168.9.254) and that i add a static route of 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.7.254
if i remove all vlans and have all ports back to vlan 1, and set teh management address to x.x.7.2 i can get to the router no problems without static routes and of course, connect to the switch using the IP via a browser instead of a serial port.

i have added a dagram for help understanding how i tried to set this up and also add the running-config details to assist too.

Any help / advice will be gratefully recieved. i have battled with this for days now with little success.
Its obvious that i have made some fundamental design/config mistakes along the way and i'm sure you will point them out for me.
Many thanks

Regards
Krystian
