VLAN Setup First Time Help Needed!!!!
Small Network in my home using Cisco SG 200-18 also have Meraki MX60 Router.
2 of my Windows 2008 Server have Dual network adapters.
Need to put the second network adapter on another subnet.
My primary network is 10.2.8.x/22 10.2.8.1 is Gateway 255.255.252.0 is the subnet
New network is 10.1.8.x/22 Gateway is 10.1.8.1 Subnet 255.255.252.0
I need both networks to be able to talk to each other.
On one server I have both network adapters configured properly
My Meraki MX60 is configured with a VLAN of 1018 MXIP 10.1.8.1 one LAN port on the Meraki MX60 we tested and made it on the new VLAN
If I plug the second network adapter from my test server into the Meraki MX60 Lan Port and it all works from my pc on 10.2.1.x I can ping 10.1.8.1 which is the Meraki MX60 and I can ping 10.1.8.23 which is the test server.
My PC (10.2.8.99) can ping 10.1.8.23 also
Now for my Question
When I plug my Test Server second network adapter into port 13, 14 15 or 16 of the SG 200 I can not:
1. from my pc (10.2.8.99) ping 10.1.8.23
2. From the Meraki (10.2.8.1) I can not ping 10.1.8.23
3. From the Test server (10.1.8.23) can not ping 10.1.8.1
How do I configure the SG200 correctly?
I created a VLAN named 1018 (See the attached screen images)
How does my config look?
What am I missing????
Thanks in advance

So let me see if I understand your posts
1. Only Ports 1 & 13 should be Trunk and Untagged
2. All other ports Access
3. Port 1 and 15 to be tagged for both vlan 1 and vlan 1018
I can not save the configuration to a txt file
I tried to change one of the ports to access mode but it failed
Port gi14: Default Vlan Tagged prevents executing Access Mode.
This happens to only the ports I tagged to vlan 1018

Close. You only need one connection between the switch and router.
This connection is a trunk (tagged port) passing vlans you want.
Each client port should be a member of the appropriate vlan for your needs. These are untagged (access) ports.
You probably need to untag (un-trunk) all the ports before you change things. I'm not a fan of those business switches due to the crazy UI. I prefer the CLI so I can do what I need without trying to understand what the UI is showing - which isn't all that intuitive.
You may be able to use Putty and access the console or telnet to copy the config from the console to attach here.

It sounds like you have it working with 2 cables between the router and the switch. That's good!
Obviously, in some situations, it's "neater" to have but one cable.
As you can see, that can be done if you want to move forward to a more elegant solution.

It can work with 2 cables but you would have to isolate vlan traffic on each or you create a loop that spanning-tree will block.

Thanks Guys
All working
Was able to setup each port on it proper vlan with Access not trunk
Have two ports 1 and 13 as trunk port 1 used for vlan 1 and port 13 used for vlan 1018
Ports 14 thru 18 are on vlan 1018 only now
I can communicate across both subnets (vlans) in both directions.
This is great.
Have cables on order hope they get here soon so I can plug the other servers into the newly created vlan.
Thanks again for all your help.

KISS method is the best.
I plugged a cat 6 cable into the LAN Port on My Meraki MX 60 that was Tagged for VLAN 1018 into my Cisco SG 200 smart switch port 16 which is tag for VLAN 1018
The I plugged my Test Server into Port 17 on the Cisco SG 200 smart Switch
and it is working like a champ.
That was it my configuration was correct just needed a network cable in the switch from the router.
Just think of the Vlan as another switch that makes it very clear.
Thanks
