Access Draytek G2240 switch

Hi I am trying to basically add a NAS drive to the network at a site.

They have a managed switch - Draytek Vigor G2240 and I am being told there is only access via the Draytek Vigor 3900 router that they have.  

Having not really delved too much in to the managed switch with draytek I am a bit stuck.

I have given my nas box an ip address and then plugged in to port 10 of the managed switch.

I thought it was very simple to give this access but I can't find out how to do it.

Please advise?

Thanks Chris

Access from where? What is it you are trying to do exactly?

A Vigor G2240 is a simple L2 managed switch...unless they've vlans setup and you are connected to a port in a seperate vlan to the main production vlan I can't see why it wouldn't work...

Is it a simple 1 subnet network? I.e. 192.168.x.x/24?
Can you not ping the device after setting a static ip on it?
Does it not pick up an IP when set to DHCP?

Hi They have 3 vlans set up for some reason.

it looks like it should be ok 192.168.0.2 but i definitely cannot access  that ip address at all just times out.

192.168.2.
192.168.1.
192.168.0.

I have directly connected the nas to the draytek managed switch should I connect it via one of the other switches say VLAN 1?

cheers

Hi I am trying to access it locally from another computer so that I can set some backup stuff for this customer...
Hi,

found the IP address in port redirection:

Profile is switch
wan profile is wan1
use ip add : all
Private ip is 192.168.0.2
protocol is tcp
port redirect is one to one
public port is 8081
private port is 80.


aany ideas on how I can get this off the port redirect to access it directly?
Is anybody available to comment?

What is that ip port redirect? Surely that's on the router?

If you're on the same lan as the device you shouldn't be going through a router...or maybe you are in a seperate vlan in which case get on the standard vlan1 to eliminate these issues...
thanks had been plugged in to the wrong switch
