Binghamton, NY | VLAN Setup / SG300 & WRT54G (DD-WRT) I just purchased a Cisco SG300 managed switch and would like to seperate my network into two VLAN's, one for my lab environment and the other for everything else.
I have the switch in L3 mode and and been reading the admin guide but I'm still at a loss with VLAN configuration.
This is a 10 port switch, so maybe I could start with 5 ports for my lab and 5 ports for the rest?
What role will my router play in all of this? It also has VLAN capability. |

do is under VLAN Management and the subsections "Creating VLANs" and "Configuring VLAN Interface Settings."
As you said, 5 ports to the regular LAN and 5 ports to your LAN should be a good start.

VLANS are Layer 2 constructs. If you need your home and lab VLANs to talk to each other, you'll
need a Layer 3 device to do that. If your SG300 is already doing this via a SVI (Switched Virtual
Interface) -- fancy way of saying it has eg. 192.168.1.x/24 for the HOME VLAN, and 192.168.2.x/24
for the LAB VLAN configured -- then the WRT doesn't really come into the picture.

Binghamton, NY | I have made an attempt by doing the following:
Vlan 1 = IP address subnet of your router and switch (which is created by default)
Create a second vlan such as vlan 10
Make an access port for vlan 10 on the switch
Assign a LAN port on the WRT router to be vlan 10
Run 2 wires, one for the vlan 10 port, another for the vlan 1 port
Assign DHCP to each router port
On the switch navigate
Spanning Tree -> STP status and global settings
Spanning Tree State -> Remove the check box (this globally disables spanning tree)
apply changes.
After doing this I can assign ports to VLAN 10 no problem, but any port I "add" (I'm not really adding since it's the default VLAN) to VLAN 1 gets no IP address? How is VLAN 10 working but no VLAN 1?
Here is a screenshot from my router's VLAN page and one from my SG300 IPv4 page:

Okay, you've really lost me scj6771  . You're saying you've configured VLAN 10 on BOTH the WRT router AND
the SG300, or ONLY on the SG300? What're you wiring into the WRT port 4 here?
To keep it simple, you should only need a interface in VLAN1 on the WRT and a interface VLAN1 on the SG300 (the
"trunk" port). VLAN assignments should be kept on the SG300.
