Port type VLAN in stacked configuration

[Tzuriel]

Hi,

If I want to use port-based VLANs and I have 4 x460 switches stacked, do I need a physical port for each VLAN that spans to 2 or more switches or does the stack appear as one switch to the VLAN?

Thank you!

Hi there yes when the switches are stacked they act as one large switch. There can be a max of 8 switches in a stack.

If you create a VLAN (E.G. DATA) and want to add 4 ports to it as native you would do this.

DATA - SUBNET 10.1.2.0/24
DATA - TAG 30


#This creates the VLAN and configures the IP address
create vlan DATA
configure vlan DATA ip address 10.1.2.1/24
configure vlan DATA tag 30



# This add the ports to the VLAN as native/untagged.
# Adds Switch 1 Port 1, Switch 2 Port 10, Switch 3 Port 14, Switch 4 Port 23
configure vlan DATA add ports 1:1, 2:10, 3:14, 4:23 untagged



# Optional enable ip forwarding on the VLAN
enable ipforwarding vlan DATA
