      Is the other "different" cable you tried a cross over cable, I only ask as your connecting a router to a router ?

      If you set up the LAN port as a simple LAN port on the SG-1000 can you ping the Airport Extreme ?

        Both are straight. I'm connecting the netgate to the airport directly. Simple LAN works. AE gets DHCP and I have working internet via wireless.

        But I don't see how the cable can be at fault here, since sg-2440 works just fine, and normal LAN works.

          Yup I was trying to verify if the SG-1000 auto mdix'd or not, if you just set it up as a normal port and it works that tells me it does.

            Is it possible that the issue has something to do with this?

            I've got 99 problems, but a switch ain't one

            Maybe the VLAN needs to be set up in the SG-1000 switch settings as well as on the interface?

              I've tried creating a VLAN from there and it didn't work.

                Tried doing a packet capture, are packets tagged with vlan1003 leaving the firewall ?

                If you do a packet capture in promiscuous mode from the lan interface and then open it up in Wireshark you should be able to see if the tagged packets are leaving the SG-1000.

                If you type vlan in the filter field you should see packets that are tagged, the attached screenshot shows packets tagged with vlan2, ignore the vlan column thats something I set up.

                  Don't pull your hair out. There might be an issue there with the higher VLAN IDs.

                    It might be so, I just saw this error in the log. ( i hope I attached it)

                    I tried setting a static IP and pinging the LAN from the VLAN interface and it threw a "no route to host".

                    Unfortunately I don't have enough time to troubleshoot this in depth. I've already lost a lot of time with this. Honestly, this product should be advertised more clearly as a beta, because I'm a networking noob and I've purchased this based on the "out of the box" way the other 2 worked. I've seen some other random errors in the logs.

                    Thanks for taking your time though!

                        I've noticed. I managed to setup the VLAN and assign an interface but I can't test it yet because it's at a remote location.
