Hi,

I have a Draytek 2865 Router and VigorSwitch PQ2200XB connected together. The switch and router communicate correctly with the shared management interface, etc.

For information there are three VLANs, the Default (1) and two further tagged ones. I'm not using any of the L3 features,

I can connect clients onto the Default VLAN on both the router and switch using DHCP served from the router on the Default VLAN. I can also can connect my NAS on a static IP on the router, but when I do the same with the switch the indicator shows there's a device connected but the IP address is blank and I cannot see the NAS drive on the network. If I connect the NAS to the switch via DHCP then I can see the NAS drive on the network.

Is there something silly that I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks

Paul

Hi, I'm cannot even connect the NAS using DHCP with a cable directly connected to the switch. I've tried using Access and Trunk mode on the port with no success. Many thanks
