GS108PEv3 vlan, two networks, one computer in both, will this work?
Hello. Connected to the GS108PEv3 is the following. Four network ports for PoE devices that are on 10.0.0.0/24. Two additional ports that are on 192.168.0.0/24, one for a computer and one for the res...
Hey,
"Is it as simple as assigning the port to both VLANs?"
Yes - that is pretty much it. There are just a few comments.
1. When setting a port to carry multiple VLANs, that is called a Trunk. In that case you normally set the port to be tagged "T" for each VLAN you want to carry down that link.
2. When tagging a VLAN, you need to make sure the other end (the Linux PC) understands that tag. Else, the PC will drop that traffic.
So, you're right that you can create sub-ip-interfaces in Linux. However, you need to also set those interfaces to be tagged to a certain VLAN. You need that because you need to tag on the switch side. Luckily, VLAN tagging can easily be done by any OS.
Cheers
