Hi everyone, I could use some assistance doing what should be a pretty basic layer 3 switch configuration.
I've got a site with three existing VLANs and subnets. Currently the physical router device is routing inter-VLAN traffic. They are as follows:
VLAN 1 (default): 192.168.31.0/24
Gateway: 192.168.31.1
VLAN 2 (mgmt.): 192.168.131.0/24
Gateway: 192.168.131.1
VLAN 3 (guest): 192.168.231.0/24
Gateway: 192.168.231.1
Another group will be joining the existing network, that group will have their own subnet 192.168.103.0/24 which I will be placing on VLAN 4 at the main site. I have a layer 3 switch (Netgear GSM7328FS) that I will be using to route VLAN 4 to VLAN 1 as I should get better performance routing with this device than the physical router. This group will also be sharing VLANs 2 and 3. Switch port connecting to this office will be configured as a trunk (Cisco language), so it will be an untagged member of VLAN 4 and tagged member of VLANs 2 and 3.
The switch management interface is 192.168.31.25 on VLAN 2.
I've assigned IP addresses to the VLAN interfaces as follows:
VLAN1: 192.168.31.254
VLAN4: 192.168.103.1
Routing is enabled on the device and the interfaces. I've got a route statement in my physical router for 192.168.103.0 next hop 192.168.31.254.
Now for the question, why I'm not able to reach 192.168.103.1 (VLAN 4) from the other side?
If I attempt to ping from 192.168.31.0 I get:

If I attempt tracert, I get:
Tracing route to 192.168.103.1 over a maximum of 30 hops
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.31.254
2 1 ms 1 ms <1 ms 192.168.131.1
3 145 ms 2 ms 2 ms 192.168.31.254

5 2 ms 2 ms 2 ms 192.168.31.254
6 2 ms 2 ms 2 ms ...
I have no idea why the x.x.131.0 subnet is even involved. Hopefully this behaviour will throw up a flag for someone, and you can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance
*** Edit ***
After sitting for a while, now the pings just time out, as does tracert. I've also thrown up a quick screen shot of the routes as configured in the device. I feel like the problem lies in something that's there (or not there).
