SF300 - Trunk or Access port ?

[francois.dominati]

Hi,

I'am moving from level 2 to level 3. We have 3 site and in each one, we will have to VLAN : one for data (VLAN ID 10) and one for TEL (VLAN ID 20).

I know that some ports have to be in TRUNK MODE with the two VLAN (those linked to the isp router for example).

But, for example, for one telephone, should I put it in a trunk port with only VLAN 20 or in an access VLAN ?

I thouhgt it was the access one, but am wondering because :

1 - The switch documentation says :

"Access—The interface is an untagged member of a single VLAN. A port configured in this mode is known as an access port."

2 - I can t define an VLAN on the Interface Setting of an access port

3 - But I can define an administrative VLAN for an acess port on the Port VLAN Membership page

I am a little confused here...

Thanks for your help

Good Morning,

The difference between trunk and access it that the trunk port allows you communication with all the VLANs that you have added to this port for example you administrative VLAN and the tagged VLANs that oyu add to that port versus the access port that only allows you communication with the VLAN that you set as administrative for example your Voice VLAN.

Regards.
