Hello,
My NAS is connected via three VLAN’s (A,B,C). One on interface-1 (1G) and two on the second one (10G). The GUI is defined as '0000' (accessible from all subnets/vlans). All VLAN’s have a DHCP-server and are using a different subnet (IPV4 and IPV6). The DHCP server is supplying the subnet GW.
My PC is on VLAN-D. All VLAN’s are interconnected via a router (pfSense).
The problem: Without a default gateway defined, I cannot access the NAS ☹ ☹
I tried to find the cause of the problem:
So, there should NOT be a default gateway. All VLAN’s should all have their own default gateway used for both incoming and outgoing traffic. In and out data should flow through the same VLAN :)
So, big question is how to archive this!
Sincerely,
Louis

My PC is on VLAN-D. All VLAN’s are interconnected via a router (pfSense).
The problem: Without a default gateway defined, I cannot access the NAS ☹ ☹
I tried to find the cause of the problem:
- If I define a standard gateway, then it works somehow. That will say, the GUI-access queries are entering the NAS via the IP-addres related subnet, but the NAS sends the answer back via the VLAN as determined by the default gateway address (not strange given it is the default gateway, but never the less that is not at all OK!)
- The NAS should return the answers via the involved VLAN! But it does not! Probably not because it is not aware of a / the VLAN-gateway ‘’hummmm”. Note that There is no gui option to enter the gateway IP’s (IPV4 and IPV6) on VLAN level
- And you can, quite stupidly, only define DHCP on only one interface !!!!???? ☹
(Note that normally the DHCP-server provides the GW-address) - The network summary screen does not show gateways for the VLAN’s (in line with my verdict)
- If you are locked out due to lack of GW, the only option left to access the NAS is having the PC in one of the NAS its VLAN’s
(which is in an advanced network normally not the case)!
So, there should NOT be a default gateway. All VLAN’s should all have their own default gateway used for both incoming and outgoing traffic. In and out data should flow through the same VLAN :)
