Inter-VLAN Routing
VLANs allows administrators to segment the local network to improve network efficiency and security. By default, hosts on separate VLAN cannot reach each other. If you want devices on different VLANs to be able to communicate, you need to enable Inter-LAN routing on the router. On Vigor Router, go to LAN >> General Setup, at the bottom of the page there is Inter-LAN Routing. Just check the box on the intersection of the LAN subnets you want the router to forward the traffic. For example, below is a configuration that will enable subnet LAN1 and LAN2 to communicate with each other.

We are adopting a new method to setup Inter-LAN Routing on Vigor2136. It’s possible to add multiple LAN subnets in single group to allow clients under group members to communicate with each other.
Go to Configuration / LAN / Inter-LAN Routing, click "Add" to create new Inter-LAN routing group as follows:
- Enter the Group Name.
- Enable the profile.
- Select the LAN subnets you want to join in the group.
- Click Apply to save the profile.
