I have a network setup with multiple 1228p switches and approx 100 access points. I use the Dlink Wan manager software to manage them and it works great. I have vlan's setup for each segment of the network for a total of 5 vlans. Each vlan has its own subnet as well. I have a DFL-860 doing all the security and DHCP services per vlan.
MY QUESTION: I have a workstation that manages all these AP's and i need them to all be able to talk to it. I currently have 5 network cards in it that are tied to each Vlan so they can talk. I have tried setting up the first card on a vlan port that is tagged for all vlans but it still will not see the AP;s. This may be a dumb question but do i need a layer three switch to get these to communicate over one NIC and IP?
Vlan 1 192.168.1.x
Vlan 2 192.168.2.x
Vlan 3 192.168.3.x
you get the picture!!
