      Where are you plugging in your computer?

      As long as you have the LAN assigned as mvneta1 directly still and have a dhcp server enabled on it a client connected to any of the LAN ports should work. Except port 3 if the PVID is still set to 172. It needs to be 1 for a client connection directly.

        @stephenw10 With an ethernet cable to port 1, 2 or 3. No DHCP on either port.

          Ok that should work on ports 1&2 (and 3 if you've reset the PVID).

          Is LAN still assigned and enabled as mvneta1?

          Is the dhcp server enabled on it?

            @stephenw10 172 removed changed to 1.
            Here are some current screenshots of the setup. LAN 1 has a connection due to there is where my computer is.

            This is how all the DHCP servers look.

              What about on LAN though? You are not connecting to the Client VLAN.

                @stephenw10 What do you mean? LAN has no DHCP server, only a static IP. Can that be it?

                  No the LAN interface itself must be a static IP. But it must have a dhcp server enabled on it. Check the 'LAN' tab in Services > DHCP.

                    @stephenw10 Ok done. Well two steps forward and one backwards.
                    I do get an DHCP package, but it is the LANs DHCP package not the VLAN... Tried both ports same behavior.

                    Also can I send VLAN10 on port 1 as well? I add To VLAN 20 1t,2t,5t?

                      Yes, you can trunk VLANs tagged out of whichever ports you need.

                        @stephenw10 Great, but how about the DHCP issue I am having now? I don't get VLAN package but LAN package...

                          Ah, sorry missed that. That's the expected behaviour if you connect a client directly to the ports. The only way a client would get an IP from one of the VLAN subnets is if you configured the VLAN on it dircetly. Whilst usually possible that'#s almost never done on client.
                          Those VLAN subnets would be available on ports on the downstream switches configured as access ports for the VLANs.

                            @stephenw10 That was what I thought. Will try to hook up an VLAN aware switch and try that out.
                            BTW Thank you so incredulity much @stephenw10 !
