Configured switch not passing along network connectivity?

Question

I have a brocade ICX 6450-24P that I have set up. I have made the following configurations:
Assigned an IP address to the device, as well as two DNS servers and a gateway
Created three VLANS and put ports into the corresponding VLANs necessary, the ports are tagged.
enabled web management interface
I am using the Switch firmware, not the router firmware. I can plug an ethernet cable into port 1 and connect to the web management interface, but if I plug an ethernet cable into any of the other ports I have configured, the device attached does not receive any sort of IP address or connectivity from the switch. I am new at this and just learning. What have I done wrong?

Answer 1

The Brocade ICX 6450 uses tagging to achieve what the switchport trunk allow does on the Cisco 2950. Check out the following links to the Brocade documentation for the details.



Assigning IEEE 802.1Q tagging to a port:

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

how do you have it trunked? Does the trunk have the vlan?

Answer 3

I was taught to use trunked connections between my switches using VLANs and their connected routers. Otherwise, only the devices in the default VLAN, VLAN1, will be allowed to cross back-and-forth.



Here's a snippet from a Cisco 2950 switch:

Answer 4

Well you have to address that if you have only assigned the VLANs to one port you need to either Bind them all together so it uses all ports and splits them to VLANs sepretely or do it manually by Assigning IP address to each device after connecting them then see if anything shows up on the interface if it shows nothing then possible faulty ports. Im not essentially sure myself. I have about 7 servers running off 3 Lan Ports on a switch but i never had to create VLANs i just left it to the router to configure the rest.
