One thing I was not clear on in my response, which I verified this morning, is the tagging on the trunk. On your trunk, set the PVID to 1, then in VLAN to Port, set VLAN 1 to untagged and all your other VLANs to Tagged.  This creates a unique tag for every VLAN.  VLAN 1 will be unique in the fact that it is the only VLAN without a tag.  If your frames have a tag assigned to them, they will go to the specific VLAN, or if there is no tag, they will go to VLAN 1.  Does that make sense? ...

With Chris's help over webex, we got a good start and he did a great job of explaining the way this works.  We should be talking some more today so I hope to have an even better understanding after that.  With the SLM series switches, the Trunk option is not selectable, but is handled automatically.  I think I have a pretty good grasp on what you would do for this, but maybe Chris can correct me if I am wrong. First, create your LAG and join the appropriate ports to it.  Once that is done, move to the VLAN management tab and move to the third page where the LAGs are shown.  Make sure the PVID is set to 1. Then click VLAN to Port and go to the third page where your LAGs are shown.  Click Join VLAN for the apropriate LAG.  Then add the appropriate untagged VLANs. Make the same settings on the second switch.  Keep in mind it is important that both switches are configured for the same VLAN IDs. I hope I got this right, and I hope this helps. ... View more

I am running version 1.0.1 on my switch, but am not seeing the same options that I see in the document you attached.  Most notably, under VLAN Management/Port settings, I do not seem to have any options for "Mode" which is where your document say's I should change the port to a trunk.  I even tried creating a LAG that I assigned the port to, just to be consistent with the document you provided.  Even still, trunk is not available. Also interesting is that on page 9 of your document, the "Acceptable Frame Type" area is not available.  All I have is membership for the ports and LAGs with "Tagged" "Untagged" or "Excluded". I would love to do a webex to help sort this out.  How can I set that up? ... View more
