vlan participation question
I am having trouble understanding the "Vlan participation" command. I have an uplink from this switch to our core switch. My predesssors have put in the following definition for the interface: ...
Hi tbirddave,
Welcome to our community!
VLAN participation configures the degree of participation for a specific interface or range of interfaces in a VLAN. "Include" means that the interface is always a member of this VLAN. This is equivalent to registration fixed. The other VLANs will be excluded.
Regards,
Thanks, for your response. However I do not believe that this is the case, and that is the reason for the question. If what you are saying is true, then the other vlans should not be available via this uplink. This uplink is the trunk port to the core. I can access hosts through this link on other vlans directly attached to the switch.
I'm guessing if what you are saying IS true, then we should not be using this command at all and set the port to auto. Does that make sense?
