I've been asked to give the kitchen manager internet access so they can use a non domain laptop but as the wifi is poor in that room we have had a network point fitted.

 

Now I'm trying to configure the switch so the network point can only connect to the guest network. The guest network works fine under wifi but using a PC I'm not getting an address.

 

We have 2 VLANs, default VLAN 1 and guest VLAN 30. The switches as a follows with the kitchen connected to port 3.

 

HP 1910

 

Unifi AP port 1, untagged VLAN 1, tagged VLAN 30

Kitchen port 3, untagged VLAN 30

port 48 is connected back to core, untagged VLAN 1, tagged VLAN 30

 

The Sophos XG handles DHCP for the guest network and under wifi the address should be 192.168.1.x but when connecting my laptop to port 3 the address is 169.254.70.20. I've tried tagging and un-tagging port 3 but it makes no difference as the address I get is always 169.254.70.20.

 

Any advice please?

A diagram would be great but hide any identifiable info obviously.

 

See if you can trace the MAC address of the device through the network, this has helped us a number of times to make sure all the relevant switch ports are tagged where necessary.

Spot on! I don't know what PVID is but thank you, that fixed it.

 

Port VLAN ID - what VLAN it will send untagged traffic down is my understanding :)
