Netgear VLAN - routing on vlan 1

[Simcfc73]

Hi,

 

An expert came in last week to configure vlanning on my 7328v3 switch. He messed around for aged getting it working and had managed to get routing to show between VLAN 1 and the others but i can't get it to work on another level 3 switch. When I go into the wizard on the GIU it says the vlan is already created and won't let me assign an IP, when i try and enable vlan routing on the cli it crashed the console out after telling me I can't get onto the management cos its assigned to vlan 1

 

I remember him taking ages to take the management off vlan 1 and then putting it back on after he'd got the vlanning routing.

 

Has anyone else had to do this?

 

My head is hurting as I have been trying to copy his config to get a simple vlan up and running for my IP cameras between a 7328 and a little 726s.

 

I have got the routing set up on the 7328 switch and shwoing but I am sure when he had a look it showed that the link was down but I can't find out how to get it back up or to show me in the CLI or GIU if it is actually down.

 

Also (soz)

 

As I have a couple of level 3 switches how should I set them up to talk to each other? They can't be stacked unfortunatley. one is a POE switch which i am using for my cameras also.

 

Any help would be great.

Are you using VLAN1 for anything else other than management traffic, its best to have it isolated anyway with a device needing a card right on the VLAN to get to it anyhow.
