Switch – Cannot access SWITCH thru VPN

netgearswitchvpn

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).

Best Answer

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?
