Re: Separate VLAN for WAN link

Update.... did some more playing around just for confirmation and I had an old unmanaged switch laying around put it in place between the cable modem and the firewall (WAN), and it works fine. So, it seems that the ISP isn't doing some sort of weird voodoo that's keeping the config from working, so it must be something with how I'm configuring it. ... View more

Hey @PhilipDAth ,   That's the process I used.  Here's specifically what I did:   Existing setup has Port 8 on the switch plugged into the LAN port of the firewall.  Firewall WAN direct to cable modem. Configured port 1/2 as "access" mode with unused VLAN (i.e., 20).  At this point I had connectivity (pings) to the LAN IP of the firewall and to an external address (8.8.8.8). Moved cable from cable modem to port 1, cable from firewall WAN to port 2 At this point, the pings to the LAN address remain constant, but external pings cease.  Upon looking at the firewall's status, it does not gain a public IP address from the ISP.   You are correct that the WAN interface has no VLAN configuration and the connection to the ISP is a simple DHCP connection. ...

Hey PhilipDAth,   Thank you for the response.  When I configure the ports as you mentioned, I don't get any WAN connectivity.  I can talk to the LAN address of the firewall.  But the WAN port of the firewall does not pull the DHCP address on the public interface.  I tried with and without setting the VLAN on the WAN interface of the firewall itself with no success.  This was the behavior I kept running into before posting, so I thought I was doing something wrong.  Any ideas? Thanks again! ... View more

Separate VLAN for WAN link

While I know the concepts of VLANs and the theory behind them, I'm having trouble converting that into a  real-world setup and wanted to see if someone could help get me started in the right direction.   What I want to do is use my Meraki MS220 in the following configuration:   Port 1: Link to cable modem Port 2: Link to firewall (non-Meraki) WAN interface Port 3: Link to firewall LAN interface Port 4-8: LAN devices   I am confused on how to set the type (Access/Trunk) on the ports as well as the Native VLANs and Allowed VLANs to accomplish this.  I'm wanting to get the WAN interface flowing through the switch to utilize Meraki's traffic graphs as they are much better than the graphs provided by my firewall.     Any guidance on this would be highly appreciated!  ...
