On the Draytek router I have two wireless networks on both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz, they are the office network and the guest network, both of these work as expected.
The guest network is separated and on a VLAN, all network ports on the router are members of this VLAN, as are the guest SSID's.
I have the same wireless networks set up on the AP-900, and the appropriate VLAN ID for the guest network.
On the AP-900 the office network functions as expected, however the guest network is not getting issued with IP addresses and DNS does not work. If I configure a laptop with a suitable static IP then I can reach sites via IP address, so do have internet access.
Any thoughts on the issue, could the VLAN ID being lost somewhere thus causing the above?
We have a Procurve 1800-24G which I believe should pass the VLAN ID tags as it's currently setup (default settings). It's possible there is a dumb switch somewhere, but I don't think there is - the cabling is a mess and not easy to follow.
Edited to add:
This is what the Procurve manual says for VLAN's, it says all ports have a VID of 1, so does that mean it won't pass a VID of say 5? But it then says "All ports can send and receive both VLAN-tagged and untagged packets (that is, they are hybrid ports)", so I'm a bit confused.
VLAN Setup
This page allows you to create up to 64 VLANs based on the 802.1Q standard.
You can also delete or modify VLANs.
Introduction to VLANs
VLANs are logical partitions of the physical LAN. You can use VLANs to
increase network performance, improve internal network security, or create
separate broadcast domains.
If the network has adequate performance and security for your current needs,
it is recommended that you leave the VLAN settings in the default
configuration. The default configuration is as follows:
• All ports are members of VLAN 1
• The switch management interface is on VLAN 1 (this cannot be
changed)
• All ports have a Port VLAN ID (PVID) of 1
• All ports can send and receive both VLAN-tagged and untagged
packets (that is, they are hybrid ports)
In the default configuration, any port is able to send traffic to any other port,
and a PC connected to any port will be able to access the management
interface. Broadcast traffic, for example, will be flooded to all ports on the
switch.
The four VLAN parameters you can configure for each port on the switch
include VLAN Aware Enabled, Ingress Filtering Enabled, Packet Type, and
PVID. Note that the ports within a trunk cannot be configured individually;
configure the trunk instead (trunks are labelled T1 to T12 for the 24 port
switch, and T1 to T4 for the 8 port switch).
