VLAN Setup Verification
Needing some assistance with how Netgear handles vlan's on the xs7x8t switches. I have Cisco experience, & it is not translating over as well as i thought. Example: I want to move away from usi...
Think about it this way and it should work.
An access port is a port that is an UNTAGGED member of only one VLAN with its PVID set to that VLAN ID.
A trunk port is a port that is an UNTAG member of the “management” VLAN with its PVID set to that VLAN ID and a TAGGED member of the other VLANs. The “management” VLAN should match your CISCO native VLAN.
You may also consider changing the trunk on the CISCO side to the “General” mode to fully match the NETGEAR side, for example:
switchport mode general
switchport general allowed vlan add 70,80,90 tagged
switchport general allowed vlan add 1 untagged
Thank you for the explanation.
In this case, there isn't a Cisco switch, I am using the Netgear's instead. It will connect to a Cisco ASA firewall, which has more router characteristics than switch characteristics. I have the sub-interfaces configured, so at this point I think I need to do some trial & error with the PVID settings of the server ports. I thought I could just add them as part of VLAN membership & call it good.
