Maybe I am blind, maybe I am lazy, maybe I am just not that smart......but....
Why is it that I can not find documentation to setup a number of VLAN on my 48 port switch? All of the documentation seems to go back to needing to configure VLAN at an edge device as opposed to a switch. Is this the case? Our facilities all use UTM from another vendor (WatchGuard) and will not be changing in the foreseeable future...this will be a pass-fail in our environment for Meraki (Go).
Thanks in advance....
The Meraki Go line of switches are only layer 2 capable. If you're looking to create L3/routed interfaces that's where you need something else to be the router like a GX firewall or some other routing capable platform.
Thank you for the answer, however, I am not sure what question you are answering.
In general, and in most environments (SMB and up) a VLAN is used as a way to identify resources for network devices to particular resources on other subnets. From there, in general we will pass traffic on a network switch with multiple VLANs and decide port for port what VLAN (tagged or untagged) is on a given interface on the network switch....for that, I need to inform the switch what VLAN's it needs, what ports are trunks and on and on from there.
Nowhere on the MGT interfaces do I see a section to indicate the VLAN's needed on the device. We only got this device due to the shortage of our new go-to Netgear (Lifetime Warranty) in our ancillary facilities and IDF's. Thus far, other than price, not impressed (the build-in rack tabs are annoying and limit our mounting options as well)>
VLANs are used for network segmentation and reducing broadcast domains and not how you describe it above.
This doc covers how to configure a VLAN on a Go switch https://documentation.meraki.com/Go/Features/Meraki_Go_-_Wired_Networks_(VLANs)#Steps_to_configure_G...
@MeredithW - can we please move this to the Meraki Go forum?
Description aside (I have not renewed my CCIE in about 15 years when we dumped Cisco for Brocade/Foundry - about 130,000 ports worth). How do I assign a VLAN to a specific port? I am sure I am missing something simple. I simply need for /10-/20 to be untagged on VLAN 10 and /21-39 to be untagged on VLAN 20, all with access to VLAN15 (printers). There has got to be a simple way. Seriously, none of us are sales folks here...but, it should not be too hard (and no WebUI from the device?????)
We got this device from Amazon in a pinch...I am thinking it is going back to the Amazon gods. For our ancillary clinics, we have found Netgear to be a great, easy-to-manage solution and not have some odd interface and (in theory) hidden config buttons.
as for the link -> https://documentation.meraki.com/Go/Features/Meraki_Go_-_Wired_Networks_(VLANs)#Steps_to_configure_G...
I do not have the + option in the top right with any option other than SSID's.
I think you should wait for your preferred solution, NetGear, to come back into stock.
If you can't wait - it sounds like you aren't using a Meraki series matched to your needs. You probably need something like an MS120 or MS210.
