So, I'm totally new to Virtual LANs and shouldn't really be doing this at all, but this is what I was put up to do, and so here we are! (Besides, one has to start somewhere!)
So, I have a network device stack like described in the subject: USG110 Firewall, NXC2500 WLAN controller, a GS22xx core switch, several supporting GS19xx switches, and a bunch of NWA5123 Access Points.
Setting these up as a straightforward LAN+WLAN system is pretty simple. But what I unfortunately need to do is set up a bunch of Virtual LANs (VLANs) in the system (one for management, one for guests, and a couple others—the guest one being the most critical).
I've spent hours trying to RTFM the guides and the google, as well as the Youtubes. No luck.
For management purposes, I've set them up as so:
USG Firewall 192.168.xx.1 /24 (DHCP server active on this one)
NXC2500 Controller 192.168.xx.2
GS22xx Core Switch 192.168.xx.3
GS19xx Switches 192.168.xx.5-8
And the idea is to configure the AP's to use .xx.11-22 or so.
There is no need for the different VLANs to communicate with each other, they should be kept separate.
Now, I've been trying to set up the most rudimentary VLAN configuration, trying to configure the switches & ap's to work with the Guest VLAN, let's call it "vlan10". Clients using the AP's and any Eth ports connecting to switch ports e.g. 1-8 should automatically be connected to vlan10 and separated from the other vlans.
Might one of you be able to point me to some tutorial that would walk me through all the settings in each of the devices that I would need to configure in order to get this setup to work even somewhat?
Do I need to explicitly set up trunks between the devices?
The NXC2500 Handbook from ftp://ftp.zyxel.com/NXC2500/ is pretty helpful, pages 17 through 27, but I can't seem to be able to use the instructions so as to be able to get an IP for my client computers connecting through the guest WiFi AP:s (eg. AP => GS19xx switch => GS22xx switch => (NXC2500 controller) => USG110 Firewall (=> WAN).
Thank you very much for any helpful comments!-
