M4300 SFP Port Trunking Issues
Hi all, I recently purchased 2 new M4300 and form a stack. After stacking the SW, I started to setup the switch as normal, the management VLAN, IP, the rest of vlan, subnet of those VLAN. Since i...
Hi Kelvin,
It's a good news that the failover problem resolved.:smileyhappy:
Let's carry on the VRRP scenario.
I have checked the maintenance file just you sent to us.
1) Congratulation！The address (192.168.100.2 ) is the virtual IP address of VRRP on Firewall.
Because this IP have same prefix mac-address header just like (00:00:5E:00:xx:xx).
It's the standard of VRRP for mac-address behavior.
2) Good finding! The "Link state detection” is very useful for VRRP status.
So we need to set the IP for heartbeat on each Firewall that could monitor VRRP all the time.
But 192.168.100.1 is not the heartbeat address for Firewall that is VLAN interface on M4300-Stack.
So Could you set an IP address on Firewall A and B that is not VRRP protocol.
Such as:
192.168.100.10 /24 on Firewall A.
192.168.100.20 /24 on Firewall B.
Then,
Set Link state detection IP address to 192.168.100.20 on Firewall A.
Set Link state detection IP address to 192.168.100.10 on Firewall B.
That will make Firewall detect each other with this configuration.
3) Could you share me the configuration page or command on your Firewall about LAG/Port/IP address/VRRP configuration？
The private message is RECOMMENDED.
I'm not very professional on Firewall of other company.
Just want to help analyze.:smileyhappy:
Look forward to your reply.

today I was going to reset both unit to factory default again. I found that the stack config and also the unit number will remain whether I reset it to factory default. I finaly run "switch 2 renumber 1" to force it to be "default", but I don't know whehter it is correct.
erase stack-config
erase startup-config
reload
en mode and then
switch 2 renumber 1 in unit 2
Here is my flow to setup the M4300, please correct me if I was wrong
1. change oob ip address in both switch to 10.251.251.251
2. change default vlan ip to 192.168.200.1
3. enable stack in port 1 in both switches
4. power-off both switches and connect them with the stack cable
5. power-on switch A and with until the webgui can be accessed
6. power-on switch B
7. the above steps are finished in WebGUI
8. connect my mini usb to the switch A
9. rename Switch A to CoreSW -1
10. setup password and enable password
11. create vlan 2 - 7 as I mentioned before
12. setup vlan interface
13. enable trunking in port 2-10
then i found the problems
the rest of parts are
setup GVRP
may be M-LAG I think?
Hi Kelvin,
I just found the port 2-8 are "Routing mode".（command "Routing"）
This means that these port will work with layer 3 mode that all packets don't have any 802.1q tag.
So the tag will always be U.
So please input "no routing" if you want to use these port as layer 2 mode.
Regards,
Daniel
Hi Daniel,
Many thx for your reply. I then followed your advise to disable the routing on the vlan interface (routing -> vlan -> vlan configuration) , but with no luck, still have error. Also, I would like to ask about the concept of the layer 3 switch. If I don't set the vlan routing on the layer 3 sw, will the traffic be routed between vlan?
