How do I configure access ports and trunk ports? I have setup VLANs 100's of times across Vyatta, Cisco, HP, 3COM, etc but can't get them to work on the damn 260GS. The Wiki is useless on what to do. Does anyone have a screenshot or a "terminology comparison" to say Cisco? Thanks.

Hi!

Have you tried to set each interface to "optional" under the VLAN tab?

RGDS

See the attached photos for what I have setup.
Port 1 is the trunk port and 2-5 are members of the various VLANs. Native VLAN is 10. SFP port is not used. The other end of the trunk is setup correctly, I tested it by replacing the RB with a Cisco 3560.

Let me make sure I get what your trying to do....

You want port 1 to serve as a trunk for VLANs 1, 10, 20, and 30. You want port 2 to serve as an access port for vlan 20, 3 as an access port for 30, and 4 as an access port for 10. Is that correct?

If so what I think you want to do is set the mode for ports 2-4 to strict, only accept untagged, set the egress to strip always, set the default for port 2 to 20, 3 to 30, and 4 to 10. In the VLANs tab I think you want to set the appropriate VLANs on the access ports (2 to 4) to always strip.

I "think".... their documentation on this is pretty sparse.

Yeah that's what I want. I don't know why they have to make it so confusing and difficult. Every other switch is damn easy to get going.

I tried your settings to no avail. Maybe the trunk port (1) is misconfigured?

Can you tell what is working and what isn't?.... I assume though if the trunk isn't working the access ports won't work either... so I guess that may be hard... post updated screen shots.

Also you're running 1.9 right?

Ok, it's working now. Thanks for the help. What a PITA. Yes this is 1.9. Here are updated screenshots for others having issues:

What was the change that made it start working? Glad it's working

Why does this work!!!!

This configuration looks completely backwards to me and I hate leaving the device with it because it seems like its just going to cause some gigantic screw up in the middle of operation.

So far its the only configuration that has succeeded trunking the Mikrotik to my HP2848 and its taken me the best part of a day to get to this point but...

Can anyone enlighten to me why it works?

Also poked at it and did not get it working. Read this description and it was a piece of cake.
