Tagging/Untagging stacking-ports
Hello together,
I still got no answer on my questions, so I will ask again in this new discussion:
How must these specific stacking-ports be marked?
a) Currently I have U(ntagged) all used VLANS (about 10 VLANs) on all 12 stacking-ports.
b) PVIDs are set to Default_VLAN_1
c) Our management_VLAN is ID_100
It works so far but I have some problems in my network and I want to rule out that the reason for this is a misconfigured stack.
it would be very nice if someone could answer that.
Best regards
Eli

Welcome to our community! :)
Stacking port is neither tagged or untagged. It does not affect the VLANs on your network because this will only make your 2 switches as one.
May I know what seems to be the problem?

Hi John,
thank you for your support.
Our problem is, that we have a very unstable WLAN-Network in our School.
I already changed all WNDAP 360 into WAC720 (Controller is a WC7600v2).
Sometimes the connection to the devices is very fast (as i should be) sometimes I disable and enable WLAN on (Mac/iPhones/Thinkpads ..) many times. And if I'm lucky, it connects to the desired WLAN-ID.
Therefore I startet to check all settings (also these which have been set years ago).
I didn't find any tipps in the documentation about this topic.
One more question: what about PVID
Should it set to default (ID1) or should it also be kept empty?
Best regards
Eli

Thank you for that information. PVID configuration is where you want the untagged ports to go on a specific VLAN. But if your devices are all VLAN aware, then you just need to assign the ports to tagged or trunk.
