Hello all,
I finally got around to upgrading to a PowerConnect 7048P from my netgear GS748TP (For sale if anyone is interested) primarily because it couldn't power my PTZ PoE camera. it also adds two 10GBE SFP ports and two 10GBE RJ-45 ports for uplinks. The switch is in place and working well with one exception, Bind MAC to VLAN...
I have separate VLANS configured and working to segregate servers and general users, Kids Network (heavily filtered), IOT (things I don't completely trust), and security. This all works well as long as I configure each port to a specific VLAN or enable tagging as appropriate. Because the number of devices are growing and because one of the kids figured out they can circumvent this security by switching ports, I am looking at switching certain devices to MAC Bind to VLAN.
I started off by playing with a security camera and was surprised that it didn't show up on the network in the proper (or any) VLAN. After trying a couple VLANs to see if it showed up, it only worked when I plugged it into a port that was on VLAN1 and MAC Bind was set to VLAN1. I attempted to do the same thing with a windows box and found that it wouldn't receive an IP on any other MAC bind VLAN other than VLAN1. I attempted to set an IP manually and ping other devices on the configured MAC bind VLAN other than VLAN1 and it couldn't ping anything. It appears to be off in space if set to anything other than VLAN1.
Can anyone identify something I'm doing wrong? Do I need to change the port configuration in some way to automatically change VLANS based on the binding rules? All testing ports belong to VLAN1 inherently unless configured for another VLAN (something that will change soon...) I don't think it needs to be set for tagging as the traffic isn't tagged as I understand it.
Thanks for the help,
-V
