Configuring Trunking on a Cisco SG300-10p

[cstoddard1]

Hey everyone,

i just recently purchased a Cisco SG300-10p to put in a small network infrustruture. I normally use 3560 or 3750 switches for networking but I didn't need one that big for where I'm deploying it. 

What im trying to do on the SG300 is set up trunk ports that I can plug wireless access points into them and then clients will connect and get haded out vlans dynamicly via the router that we use. 

On a catalyst switches we configure the following and it works perfectly:

switch port encapsulation dot1q

switch port mode trunk

switch port trunk native vlan 9

I've tried to do this similar config on the SG300 but it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone point in the right direction on how to get a similar config on the SG300?

Thanks!

Hi,

Have a  look at this link for step-by-step configuration for the SG series switch.

Thanks for that Reza,

I've been able to create the vlans but I'm looking for how to configure trunk ports so that the rest of the vlans can pass through as needed. Is there away to do this via the cli?

Hi,

Here is an example using the cli

switchport trunk allowed vlan add 2-3,100

see link for the config guide:

Thanks everyone for your help. After messing around so more with it this is what I finally got to work.

switch(config)# vlan database
switch(config-vlan)#vlan 250-299
switch(config-vlan)# exit
switch(config)# int range gi1-10
switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode trunk
switch(config-if-range)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add all
switch(config-if-range)# exit
switch(config)# write mem
