Re: Adding vlan tags

Thanks.

I knew I could do this on the router's CPU as well but for some reason unknown to myself I want to do this on this switch chip. Though it looks like I will probably end up doing it this way or actually routing with the router.

Make sure you have port 20 and 21. Also no need for another rule, just separate each port with a comma.
ie:
