SwOS/RB250-RB260-VLAN-Example
Note: These are basic VLAN configuration examples. In case a more detailed property description is needed, then please refer to VLAN Manual.
VLAN Example #1 (Trunk and Access Ports)
1) In VLAN menu configure Default VLAN ID on planned access ports to assign untagged traffic to specific VLAN in the switch.
2) In VLANs menu add VLAN entries and specify port membership to certain VLANs.
3) At the end, enable strict VLAN filtering to ensure only allowed VLANs can pass through the ports.
VLAN Example #2 (Trunk and Hybrid Ports)
Note: This configuration example only applies to RB260 device. Hybrid port configuration is not possible on RB250 device.
1) In VLAN menu configure Default VLAN ID on planned hybrid ports to assign untagged traffic to specific VLAN in the switch.
2) In VLANs menu add VLAN entries and specify port membership to certain VLANs. Just like the previous example, an add if missing
property is used for a trunk port and same for hybrid ports where tagged traffic forwarding is allowed. For untagged traffic (defined by Default VLAN ID
) you need to use either leave as is
or always strip
property (black arrows).
3) At the end, enable strict VLAN filtering to ensure only allowed VLANs can pass through the ports. For hybrid ports to work properly, make sure VLAN Receive is selected as any
, otherwise ingress tagged or untagged traffic can be dropped (depending on selected option), but for the trunk port, it is possible to allow only packets with VLAN tag.
