Etherswitch module and BVI

Hi, Im having some trouble with switching and BVIs. Im trying to setup an AP with local switching so i need a trunk port. This is my network setup.

VLAN HELL.png

 

When I plug the AP directly into the switch below the router all the vlans work however when I have it connected to the POE modules only a single vlan will pass traffic.

 

When I go to the routers config page it shows that the vlans that don't pass traffic (11 and 12) are down 

GigabitEthernet0/0         unassigned      YES NVRAM  up                    up     
GigabitEthernet0/0.10      unassigned      YES unset  up                    up     
GigabitEthernet0/0.11      unassigned      YES unset  up                    up     
GigabitEthernet0/0.12      unassigned      YES unset  up                    up     
GigabitEthernet0/1         unassigned      YES NVRAM  administratively down down   
GigabitEthernet0/1/0       unassigned      YES unset  up                    up     
GigabitEthernet0/1/1       unassigned      YES unset  up                    up     
GigabitEthernet0/1/2       unassigned      YES unset  down                  down

Vlan11                     unassigned      YES unset  down                  down   
Vlan12                     unassigned      YES unset  down                  down

 

 

Starting from the bottom the port connecting the switch to the router is configured as follows

 

interface ethernet 1/47
 jumbo frame mtu 9014
 switchport allowed vlan add 1 untagged
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport allowed vlan add 1,10-12 tagged

The router is configured as follows 

 

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 no ip address
 duplex auto
 speed auto
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.10
 encapsulation dot1Q 10
 bridge-group 10
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.11

interface GigabitEthernet0/0.12

bridge 10 protocol ieee

bridge 12 protocol ieee
bridge 12 route ip
!

 

Finally the POE module on the router is configured as follows.

interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0
 switchport trunk native vlan 10
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,10-12,1002-1005
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/1
 switchport trunk native vlan 10
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,10-12,1002-1005
 switchport mode trunk

interface GigabitEthernet0/1/2
 switchport trunk native vlan 10
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,10-12,1002-1005
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/3
 switchport trunk native vlan 10
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,10-12,1002-1005
 switchport mode trunk

!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/4
 switchport trunk native vlan 10
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,10-12,1002-1005
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/5
 switchport trunk native vlan 10
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,10-12,1002-1005
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/6
 switchport trunk native vlan 10
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,10-12,1002-1005
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/7
 switchport trunk native vlan 10
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,10-12,1002-1005
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address


The problem has to be from the router up as everything else on the network is working fine. I can ping the BVI IPs from the different vlans so that access is working. However when i connect the AP to the POE module only Vlan 10 pases traffic.

 

Is there something wrong with my config ?

Ok. It was the vlan database.

 

When I set one of the ports to an access port I got the following.


(config-if)#switchport access vlan 11
% Access VLAN does not exist. Creating vlan 11


So I went to the vlan database

after entering

 

vlan database

vlan 11

vlan 12

 

the vlans came online so it turns out they have to be created in the vlan database and the config as an interface.

My friend,

It has also tried to allow trunking VLANs:

interface ethernet 1/47
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1,10-12 tagged

The switch is not a cisco and its configured for trunking (its an edgecore). I can ping the BVI interface IP addresses from devices connected to the switch on the same vlan.

 

Here is the sh vlans output

I can set the BVI11 and BVI12 interface ip address to DHCP and they do indeed get ip address's yet the vlan associated with it stays down.

Attached is the routers config.

 

Vlan.PNG

And above Vlan 11 and 12 are down even though bvi11 and bvi 12 have got DHCP IP addresses ?]

Ok. It was the vlan database.

 

When I set one of the ports to an access port I got the following.


(config-if)#switchport access vlan 11
% Access VLAN does not exist. Creating vlan 11


So I went to the vlan database

after entering

 

vlan database

vlan 11

vlan 12

 

the vlans came online so it turns out they have to be created in the vlan database and the config as an interface.
