Management Vlan

[sirhc]

So the second configuration would be correct. I need to be able to access the switch through port 26, also the trunk port. I tried this setup but I failed to gain access to the switch..

But everything tagged on vlan 16 worked... Just no management access. There isnt like a native vlan setting somewhere Im missing is there?

Why do you call it a "Trunk" port, it is not a "Trunk" port.

A Trunk Port is a Port that is defined to carry either "all" VLAN IDs (1-4095) or at least a "LIST OF ALLOWED VLAN ID".

This is NOT a "Trunk" Port, the "T" stands for Tagged not Trunk.

I do not know why your having issues, there is no BUG in the VLAN code as thousands of people are using it including me.

Your issue has to be in your router configuration.

But I would recommend updating to v1.4.7rc14 which I stated above.

And yes, I need to actually use the trunk rather thank just tagging it. I do understand the differences.

Instead of just using Trunk / Allowed VLANs with the Default of all VLAN IDs (1-4095) it is better to edit the list to only include the VLAN IDs you need to pass otherwise that is sloppy and does not segregate your traffic properly.

Sort of defeats the whole purpose of VLANs if you simply just pass all VLANs everywhere, really stupid way of doing things and defeats the whole purpose, might as well not use VLANs then.
