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.
Regards,
Daniel.

Hi Kelvin,
Please find the instruction about Trunk mode with native VLAN as below:
So you can see the VLAN member is "U" on VLAN 1 due to 1 is native VLAN.
For other VLAN (2-4093) it will be "T" due to it is allowed trunk VLAN.
For your addition question,
It work as a whole switch after M4300 get stacked.
So you might treat the stack master and standby as a whole switch which have multi port.:smileyhappy:
Regards,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel,
thx for your patience~I will try to fix it by following your advise. Also, I have GS series switches in layer 2, like GS748T / GS724T etc. is it possible to connect it with SFP port to M4300? let's say, port 47 to stack master and port 48 to stack 2 (both ports are set to trunk port)
