ok for the last week I've tried racking my head around this... I have a SRW208P with 802.1q support, and a virtual endian appliance.

I would like to be able to have 3 vlans having everything routed through the endian appliance..

i.e. The Virtual server has 2 bridged NIC's to the switch. This is where I'm getting confused .. On the 8 port switch I've got the 3 vlans set up ok (all being untagged as they are not going to be vlan aware), it's the port I'm connecting the endian firewall to the switch I'm having trouble with (second nic goes to the adsl modem and NAT'd) Is it meant to be a trunk, "Genereal" or "Access" then untagged or tagged?

the end goal is to have vlan traffic routing through the single NIC and have endian route vlan traffic according to the rules.

Any one have any ideas on the cisco small business stuff?

Thanks
