VLAN over SXT

Hi all,
I have a bit of an issue that I could use some help with. I have two 750's with a trunk port on each w/ two VLAN's on the trunk. The 750's are configured and running perfectly.

I also have a pair of SXT's set up as a bridge {presently WDS} that I have inserted btwn the two 750's to transport the VLANS from one building to another. This too is functioning.

My issue is gaining access to the SXT's. Because the VLAN trunk is running thru them I can not access the SXT. I have tried adding my VLAN's to the SXT but it still does not work. Anyone have any ideas.

RB750-------SXT-------SXT-------RB750


As I said, the traffic is passing fine but I have no way to manage the SXT's if I need to

Attatch the vlans to the wds interface on both sxt's and create a bridge with the vlan from wds and the same vlan on the ether port from the RB750. Add a dhcp-client for that bridge and it should grab one through that vlan if dhcp-server is setup. You now should have access. We have accomplished almost the same concept except we are using them in a mesh, which still uses wds, so I could only imagine it would work in your situation.
