Posible to connect VLAN switch through dumb switch?
Is it possible to connect a VLAN switch into a dumb switch ?
The router will know how to reach network connected by a VLAN through the dumb switch please ?
No edge effect ?
By example, a schema of the project :
Thanks !

Possible? Yes. Recommended? No. A "hub" that isn't vlan aware could do anything with tagged traffic. The biggest problem: the frames are now 4 bytes bigger, which can cause them to be dropped as oversized. (1518 vs 1514) In the absolute worst case, your "hub" crashes when presented tagged traffic. (a Cisco 2900XL, for example)

Can you reconfigure things so the unmanaged switch is not in that path? Would be a better network design if so.

Did any answer help you? If so, you should accept the answer so that the question doesn't keep popping up forever, looking for an answer. Alternatively, you could post and accept your own answer.

An unmanaged switch will only have one VLAN. Some unmanaged switches will drop tagged frames as damaged, others will strip the tag, and some will simply pass the frames unchanged. Unless you try it, you have no way to know how your switch acts. For the switches that strip the tags, all the frames will be placed into the native (untagged) VLAN as they pass through the switch.
If your VLAN switch is a layer-3 switch, then you are better off using it as the LAN router and creating a routed link to the router, which can act as the WAN router. You will need to either use static routes on the WAN router, or you will need to run a routing protocol between the WAN router and the layer-3 switch as the LAN router.

Your VLAN doesn't work like mine. Then again, mine won't allow two VLANs to communicate between switches on the same wire.

@Joshua if that's true, do you really even have vlans? 802.1q, which allows for multiple vlans in the same switch port via tagging, has been a thing for a loooong time now, and it's hard to find a managed switch that won't do this.

If you can get the router and the smart switch to both trunk to the dumb switch, then whatever packets that cross the dumb switch will still contain the vlan tags and you'll be good to go.

Normally it would not be a problem.

Possible? Yes. Recommended? No. A "hub" that isn't vlan aware could do anything with tagged traffic. The biggest problem: the frames are now 4 bytes bigger, which can cause them to be dropped as oversized. (1518 vs 1514) In the absolute worst case, your "hub" crashes when presented tagged traffic. (a Cisco 2900XL, for example)

Can you reconfigure things so the unmanaged switch is not in that path? Would be a better network design if so.

Did any answer help you? If so, you should accept the answer so that the question doesn't keep popping up forever, looking for an answer. Alternatively, you could post and accept your own answer.
