gshlomi Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hi folks. I'm trying to understand the correct way to utilize VLANs on UNRAID. My scenario - I want to create an Active Directory Domain test environment, seperated on a different VLAN than the rest of my network, so I can practice on DHCP as well. The servers on the test VLAN need to have access to the internet (at least in the beginning). Enabled VLANs and added a VLAN using static IP assignment (see attached screenshot), installed a VM on the 192.168.2.0/24 VLAN and assigned it a static IP address manually. The problem I'm having is that the VM can easily connect to the unRAID server (using the IP I've assigned the VLAN interface, 192.168.2.1) but can't connect to the WWW (pinging 8.8.8.8 fails). What am I missing? Do my switch must support VLANs, or are the VLANs been managed in a vSwitch inside the KVM visor? Hope my question makes sense Quote Link to comment
Kaltar Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 What I would do is to install a server with AD, DHCP, DNS and 2 NIC's. 1 external NIC (192.168.1.*) and 1 internal NIC (192.168.2.*) Then use that server to serve internet to the rest of the internal testnetwork. Quote Link to comment

Your second connection needs a gateway to the outside world, hence your router needs to understand VLANs too and must have a separate connection configured. . Quote Link to comment
