So I have an issue with a configuration I'm trying to do at home. I'm hoping someone here can help... here's my network layout:
Internet (Fiber box) -> Netgear R7000 (10.10.1.1) -> TP-Link SG108E (10.10.2.1)
DHCP is off on all devices because I have a DHCP server (AD/DNS is there too). Right now everything is connected to the Netgear except for 1 test device on the TP-Link.
Here's the issue - when I plug the TP-Link into the Netgear, it's as if the TP-Link becomes a regular unmanaged layer 2 switch. The test device on the TP-Link is picking up an address on the wrong DHCP scope (same as the Router). I cannot ping the 10.10.2.1 TP-Link despite it being physically connected to it. When I tracert to a device on the Netgear, it shows 1 hop, not the 2 I'd expect since it is going through the TP-Link switch to get there. My next though was to manually assign an IP on the switch (10.10.2.0) subnet. When I do that, I can ping the TP-Link, but I cannot get any traffic to go past the switch.
I would really like to have 2 IP networks and I have the DHCP infrastructure in place to support it. If I switch the IP of the router to 10.10.2.1 and switch the statics on the servers, the proper DHCP scope works, so I don't think my DHCP is to blame. I guess it's not the end of the world if I can't, but I'd really like to have it setup this way.
On both devices I am using the most up-to-date vendor supplied firmware (not DD-WRT/Tomato/etc). Any thoughts and inputs would be great! Thank you in advance for your help!
