I've VPN connection set up that i connect to company with. I can connect to all devices (other switches, routers, servers from same subnet with same settings just diffrent ip) but I can't connect to NetGear Router GS748Tv3.

Settings on switch:

  • IP address 192.168.1.8
  • Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
  • Default gateway 192.168.1.1
  • Management VLAN ID: 0 (1 - 4094 or 0) (0 means all VLANs)

Switch has 2 VLAN's configured 1 and 2.

I can access this switch thru VPN if i log in to server and from server to switch but this is a little bit slower then normal way.

Anything I'm missing?

EDIT:

Router in location has IP - 192.168.1.1 and it's only gateway to internet. So far there's no additional network besides 192.168.1.0/24. Switch has 2 VLAN's but only one VLAN has connected cables to it and network on that VLAN is 192.168.1.0/24.

I can ping 192.168.1.8 (ip of switch) while being on site but i can't ping/access it thru VPN.

VPN assigns IP's from same subnet as local DHCP does (it's Draytek Vigor 2930 working as DHCP for local network and VPN at same time - so it's all in one device).

  • Need more info about where you are trying to connect from. For instance, if you are in 10.10.10.x/24 and try to reach 192.168.1.8/24, you need to create a tunnel between both. The default gateway for switch IP can be different from default gateways for those two vlan's on that netgear box.

does the switch 'know' how to route traffic to you? [eg does 192.168.1.1 know how to forward packets back to you sitting 'behind' the vpn?].

some manageable devices allow administrative access only from same subnet or only from selected subnets - is your ip ['behind' the vpn] allowed?

  • This is my IP on VPN 192.168.1.134, Mask 255.255.255.255, Gateway is empty... I would understand this being the case but why all other managable switches (like Linksys) allow me to log in to them?

  • What is the gateway on your actual LAN connection? Is it also 192.168.1.1?

  • @madboy - does your vpn SNATs your connections directly on some local ip? it seems that 192.168.1.234/32 overlaps with your lan - 192.168.1.0/24. a picture with addresses, vpn, netmasks, routes would be helpful.
