Model: TL-SG3428X  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I am setting up TL-SG3428X and expect to connect the following subnets using inter-VLAN routing.
 

VLAN1 port 1-28, subnet 10.120.225.x, port 1 connected to another switch which connects to a router to Internet

VLAN2 port 9-16, subnet 192.168.2.x

VLAN3 port 17-24, subnet 192.168.3.x

 

VLAN Config

 

VLAN interfaces

 

 

Routing Table

 

Notebook A with 192.168.2.2 at port 9.

Notebook B with 192.168.3.2 at port 17.

Notebook A (192.168.2.2) can ping 192.168.2.1, 192.168.3.1 but not 192.168.3.2.

Notebook B (192.168.3.2) can ping 192.168.2.1, 192.168.3.1 but not 192.168.2.2.

Both notebook A and B cannot ping 10.120.225.x except 10.120.225.114.


I have studied the document 1910012903_T16_T26_UG.pdf, browsed a lot of webpages including https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/2149/ and tried a few days but still cannot figure out how to configure the VLAN routing.

 

I have tried to add port 1 to VLAN2 and VLAN3 but it still does not work.

 

Does TL-SG3428X support inter-VLAN routing?

Can you give me some hints or other documents to follow?

 

I am confused because the function of this L2+ switch is between a L2 switch and a L3 switch.

 

Thanks in advance!

  @MatthewLi 

 

Hi, did you set the default gateway on the devices?

If you don't use a router, you need to set the default gateway manually.

  @Hank21 

Thanks for your advice.

I have set the default gateways.

After studying the specifications of the L2+ switch, I have found that this switch does not support IP forwarding.

So I gave up setting the subnets and VLANS using just a L2+ switch because it seems impossible to do this.

I turned to use traditional method.  I connected the VLANS to a router.

  @MatthewLi I have managed to achieve the same as you did but also cannot ping "past" the designated VLan port IP either. Although the demonstrations I have seen, show that pinging devices on alternate networks is possible. It did not work for you or me. It is a huge shame because these 3428X switches were recommended by our external provider but appear to fall short of doing the Inter-VLAN switching we needed. I have also found that you cannot subnet the VLAN IP. i.e 192.168.0.1/25 192.168.0.128/25

 

Anyone else have any other information to show I am perhaps missing something?

  @StephenL  TL-SG3428X is a L2+ switch.  It cannot do "IP forwarding" as a L3 switch.  So I gave up configuring the switch with VLANs and subnets.  It is impossible to forward packets between VLANs with different subnets like a L3 switch or a router.  I think TP-Link should state clearly the differences so that customers won't purchase a switch which cannot meet their needs.  In order to use subnets with VLANs, a core switch or a firewall(router) is needed.
