MERAKI New Network

[Upendra]

Hello,

I have one MX 100 and 5 Nos  MS 120 series switches, and Need 8 VLANs.

Please tell me the best possibility to setup the new network. 

Thanks and Regards,

Yes the MX will have to handle the routes.  The switch interfaces can then be setup with the Vlans.  Setup the interface between the switch and MX as a trunk with whatever allowed vlans you need.

You'll notice on the "Addressing and VLANs" page that once you enable VLANs, a new link will appear to "Add a local VLAN" so you can add your 8 VLANs and save that.  The MX will take care of all the interVLAN routing and all of the DHCP service by default for every VLAN.  By default all of the LAN ports will be trunk ports with native VLAN 1 and all VLANs allowed.  Then as Adam pointed out, connect up your switches, and by default the switch ports should all be trunk ports with native VLAN 1 which basically makes it plug and play. 

Then, if needed, you can configure individual switch ports as access ports in a specific VLAN, or as trunk ports but only with your 8 specific VLANs allowed, etc.  You can also, if needed, to per-port VLAN configuration on the MX.
