Hello

i need help for configuring this 6850 alcatel switch :

on the existing LAN , we have a few computers connected to a pfsense router with no vlan (pfsense lan : 172.16.1.1/16)

i have to setup a lab with 2 vlans connected to the alcatel switch :

port 1 is connected to my lan
port 10 is connected to my vlan 10 ( gateway 10.0.0.254/8)
port 20 is connected to my vlan 20 ( gateway 192.168.33.254/24)


here is my config

vlan 10 port default 1/10
vlan 20 port default 1/20

ip interface "VLAN10" address 10.0.0.254 mask 255.0.0.0 vlan 10
ip interface "VLAN20" address 192.168.33.254 mask 255.255.255.0 vlan 20
ip interface "VLAN1" address 172.16.60.60 mask 255.255.0.0 vlan 1

vlan 10 802.1q 1/1
vlan 20 802.1q 1/1

ip static-route 0.0.0.0/0 gateway 172.16.1.1

vlan inter routing is ok
both of my vlan can ping each other
both of my vlan can ping 172.16.60.60
alcatel switch can ping 172.16.1.1

but i can't ping 172.16.1.1 from my vlan ?

thanks for reading me

The problem is most likely that the pfsense router does not know the route back to the networks in the other vlans.

Make sure you have static routes set on the pfsense router for both networks in vlan 10 and 20, pointed to 172.16.60.60
