Hi @cmr sorry if it is a late reply. I am trying to implement VLAN slowly however i am stuck, below are my steps:   Under addressing & VLAN, I change LAN setting from Single LAN to VLAN and remain default VLAN1 192.168.0.0/24 MX IP is my gateway 192.168.0.1 everything is fine and working. I created VLAN2 192.168.1.0/24 MX IP 192.168.1.1 Port 3 of MX250 is Trunk Native VLAN1 allowed all VLANs. Port 3 of MX250 connected to port 24 of MS350.  I tried configured port 15 of MS350 to be Access port VLAN2.  I plugged LAN from my laptop onto port 15 of MS350, unable to get valid ip address and unable to access internet.  I plugged into any other ports on MS350 is able to get ip from VLAN1 and access internet   Hope you can enlighten where have I done wrong or missing steps before i continue.  ...

@cmr Okay so i guess i can't really implement VLAN fully yet due to many unmanaged switches and devices already running on 192.168.0.0/24 including servers. Maybe i could do something about my netgear managed switches.    Thanks a lot ... View more

@cmr Thank you for your detailed explanation, I understand most of it from logical point of view. I think my first step is to enable VLAN and maintain at VLAN1 like you mentioned.    However moving forward VLAN2, physically on my device do i need to configure the port on the MX250 or on the MS350 or both?  Because we do not have many managed switches, what will happen when a unmanaged switch uplink onto the MS350?    Using your example, assuming all my servers are static assign into 192.168.0.0/24.   I can not physically plug or logical  assign into VLAN 2 172.18.0.0/16, unless i change static assign into 172.18.0.0/16 right?  Currently I have a DHCP server of 192.168.0.0/24 with some reserved IP. Do I need to create another DHCP pool of 172.18.0.0/16?   Sorry for some beginners questions and thank you for your patience.  ... View more
