Re: Routing / switch question about USG20

Kirby, thanks for the detailed info. However, my USG is not aware of the VLANs and is not involved in them at all. I probably should not have mentioned them. This is really a question about how the USG behaves when its acting like a switch.

My switches are VLAN capable.

Everything works if P3 uses a different subnet. If I try to make P3 on the same subnet as P2, ARP broadcasts don't work and that does not make sense.

Still digging...

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Guess I am trying to figure out why you are trying to put two ports on different VLAN's yet the same layer 3 segment.

Its a topology issue. The devices are physically connected to the same segment. I can't change that. However, the VOIP device can tag its packets as part of a VLAN. The other devices cannot.

This is not reflected in my question here. Its just that while I was implementing the setup that should have solved my main issue, this side issue came up because it did not work. From everything I know about networking, it should have worked.
