GSM7224 VLAN and trunking with Cisco
Hi,
We've just bought a GSM7224v2 and we're trying to get it work with our Cisco 2960 but to no avail.
The Cisco has 3 VLAN configured and we would like to be able to use these VLANs on the GSM7224 as well, we've set up the VLANs but then we hit the wall.
How should the "trunk" ports on the GSM7224 be set up so that it'll just let the specific VLAN traffic through, as it is right now only the default VLAN is working.
We would like it to be configured so that the first 18ports should just be configured like Ciscos "switchport access mode" the last 6ports should just work with our VLAN id 408.
Any ideas are welcome!
Regards Daniel

- The assignment of ports to vlans is under the switching menu. This is the Netgear to Cisco "translation" terminology. Untagged = Access Tagged = Trunk port 802.1q Create your vlans under the basic menu On the advanced menu -- vlan membership Select vlan 1 (the default vlan) and remove all the ports you want to use for the other vlans you created. But in your case it sounds like one of the three vlans is the Cisco native vlan so you can leave this default vlan 1 here and pass it over untagged on the trunk port. On the trunk port add in as a "tagged" vlan the other two you want to trunk.
- Thanks for the info!
I'll try that and see if it works!
Cheers
Daniel - Let say I have a default VLAN1, which I want to move everything off it
I also have VLAN 10, 20, and 200, which I setup on the switch (GSM7224) to the proper port assignment and marked them as untagged
I want to pass VLAN 10, 20 and 200 to another non netgear brand switch. Don't I have to give it a VLAN number for this trunk port? - dwchan69,
With the trunk port, you will want to set VLANs 10, 20, and 200 as tagged.
I would then set VLAN 1 as untagged on the Netgear, and set the PVID as VLAN 1 for the trunk port. This is like setting "switchport trunk native vlan 1" on a Cisco switch. It means that everything that you haven't specifically tagged will be sent on VLAN 1, and therefore not used. - In the web interface you simply select your created vlans and put the "T" for tagged on your desired trunk port. You will do this for all three vlans.
Unless you want the native vlan on the trunk I would just set the pvid (primary vlan id) to the first of your desired vlans.
In the cli the configuration will look like this:
interface 1/0/47
vlan pvid 10
vlan participation include 10
vlan tagging 10
vlan participation include 20
vlan tagging 20
vlan participation include 200
vlan tagging 200 dwchan69 wrote: Don't I have to give it a VLAN number for this trunk port?
Think about it for a minute ...
- what do you want the trunk port to do?
If I am correct you want it to pass traffic for all the VLANs.
- would do you think it would do if it belonged to a particular VLAN?
