Netonix Forums

I noticed that VLAN trunking is actually not working the same as a toughswitch.

Unless i add every VLAN to the Netonix switch that i need to pass it doesn't trunk it. On a toughswitch all i have to do is click 'vlan trunking' on a port and it'll automatically pass all VLANs.

by keefe007We just deployed one of the 8 ports at a tower site and it looks like VLAN trunking isn't working. Any ideas? We need a fix asap or we'll have to reinstall the old switch.

If you are running v1.1.0 rc19 VLAN trunking is definitely working properly, several users have verified this on the forums as well as our own lab testing.

We would be happy to help you tomorrow though, it is a little late here, 11:02 PM.

Send an email with a detailed description of your application and a screen capture of your VLAN tab along with a backup of your config file to rory@netonix.com.

He will assist you tomorrow in determining what is wrong. I would help but I am leaving in the morning to go to the WISPA America show.

Please post up a screen grab of your VLAN tab and send config file to Rory tomorrow but there have been several people already report this works as expected plus we had tested this numerous times.

It worked fine on my WS-24-400A but it is not working on this WS-8-250-AC. I'll send to Rory now. I have another WS-8-250-AC I can test with at my office.

Did yours come with v1.1.0 rc19 already installed, or did you update it?

If you did it, I wonder if you reset it to defaults afterward?

I just tested another WS-8-250-AC out of the box and it doesn't trunk vlans when I enable it. I also rebooted this one and it still wont trunk them.

I've discovered the problem. VLAN Trunking doesn't work properly on this switch until at least one VLAN is added to the switch. If no vlans are added it won't trunk. As soon as I add a vlan(any vlan) it'll start trunking them all properly. This is probably why my WS-24-400A worked fine--I had to add a vlan for a customer access port on that switch.

rory is investigating and if possible will push out a fix in final release of v1.1.0
