Can someone please explain what tagged and untagged ports are used for ..Correct me if i'm wrong but you can have more then one port on a vlan for perposes for vlan trunking? I also understand that if a untagged packet comes into a port on a vlan, then the packet gets a tagged according to the vlan id..What the point to tag packet.Would I just tag the ports that i'm using for trunking?I'm so confussed.Some examples would get helpfully too..Thanks!!!

VLAN tagging is done by the protocol, be it 802.1q or ISL (not used much anymore---802.1q is industry-wide). The router is the single port that passes vlan info to route between vlans, by way of configuring sub-interfaces on the one physical router inerface. Does this clear things up? You do not configure an interface for tagging, per say---you do configure it for the vlan protocol. I will come back in a bit with a sample.

OK, I understand now that vlan taggg is done by a protocol. I'm not sure what you meant by " The router is the single port that passes vlan info to route between vlans, by way of configuring sub-interfaces on the one physical router inerface"...does this mean the port on the switch the router is pluged into passes vlan info?awating for examples,thanks again
when you have multiple vlans defined on your switch the only way to get hosts on different vlans to communicate is through a router..
so you will create one interface as a trunk to the router and then you will create a sub interface on the router for each vlan..
the router will then "route" packets between vlan for intervlan communication..
does that clear it up?

Plshlpme,I have a trunk already setup..here's what I have
cisco 2600-->port 1 of netgear switch (trunked with pvid of 120 and in part of vlan 2)
netgear port 2,3 in same vlan2 with pvid of 120 trunk-->another netgear switch in different closet
port 2,3 with same values above. IS this right?? If so do I need to setup some thing on the cisco 2600? and I'm still not sure what tagginf and untagging does ?..thanks for your help

Hello
The techs on this forum are all cisco freaks.Most of us have studied intergrating all cisco equipment.Even Cisco advices against mix equipment.But being that 802.1q is not proprietary protocol maybe it possible to make the 2600 trunk the netgear traffic.
Please state which model of the 2600 series you are using and what's your objective.

ok here is what I want to know ..two things..
1. what is the point of tagging ports..is it just used for trunking?
2.is there a command i need to set on my 2600 cisco router to trunk to another switch wheather it be a cisco or netgear?Neargear supports the 802.1q protocol.

Hello
Below is a typical configuration to allow inter-vlan routing.As you can see every VLAN has it's own network.On the netgear are you using different subnets for the VLANs that you have created?
Vlan tagging is done on the packets traversing the switch.Every packet have a field saying which vlan it belongs to.You don't tag ports!You trunk ports on routers and you make VLANS on switches.Vlans are created for security reasons and sometimes performance.
Hope this helps

Thank you,but my cisco 2600 does not allow me to use encapsulation command,I guess I have an older iso?
Yes i did setup the other vlan i have two , default and vlan 2
the default is 192.168.1.0/24 and vlan2 is 192.168.2.0/24
the interface on the router f0/1 is assagined 192.168.2.2
So it pretty stright forward..I have that interface plugged into the netgear switch in port 1 which is assaigned to vlan2 with a pvid of 120.So if i cant config the cisco to port trunking that i'm unable to have a trunk?

Hello
I think you aren't building the sub-interfaces,you get the "encapsulation dot1q" command only in the sub-interfaces mode.Read former post again to see how it done.
Also note that you can't put an ip address on the physical interface.
To comfirm that you can support dot1q please do these commands:
Router(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0
Router(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/0.1
Router(config-subif)#encapsulation ?
You should see the below output.In any case post what you see.

Hello
Sorry for doubting you.But I just did my homework ,you will need an IP Plus.This is the minimum requirement "IOS 12.1(5)T, IP PLUS"
Being that you have a small flash,you may have problems upgrading,because the ip plus IOS is quite large on the 2600 series.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

Hello
Cisco offers nothing free,if you don't have a CCO account.Anyway the IOS you need will look like this "c2600-is-mz.121-24" with the "s" in the file name.The below website tells how to get a cisco IOS.
Good luck

im not sure what your after here..
when you have multiple vlans defined on your switch you need to have tagging applied so that the switches and routers know what vlan the traffic belongs to.
you create vlans in order to isolate different lans at the logical level.
when you hit the router where you normally have a subinterface defined for each vlan it will then go to the proper subinterface based on that tag.
do you know what im trying to say?
if you have port 1 in vlan 1
and port 2 in vlan 2
and plugged a pc into port 1 and another pc into port 2
they will not be able to talk to each other
if on port 3 you enable trunking and go to a router and create a subinterface for vlan1 and another subinterface for vlan2 it will the "route" traffic between the vlans.
hope the helps some...
