Hello group,

I am trying to find the configuration for a simple 802.1Q trunk on a
425-24T switch. All the documentation I can find talks about Multilink
Groups, but I cannot find the configuration commands for single link
trunking. Does anybody know, or have a link to a command reference ?
Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Regards,

GP

Hi,
there is two different things. Multilink Trunk is port aggregation. You
can aggregate up two 4 ports in one MLT and have one logical link. You
can set up up two 4 MLT groups including max 4 ports in one.
802.1Q is VLAN tagging technology adds 802.1q tag to the packets
transmited and allowing to have VLANs traversing entire LAN. By mistake
sometimes people talk about VLAN trunk which is the same as VLAN
tagging. There is nothing in common in MLT and VLAN tagging except that
of course You can set up all ports in MLT group as tagged. There is
separate chapter about MLT and VLANs in Nortel documentation.

Best Regards,

Artur

Hello Artur,

thanks for the explanation, good information.
I am looking for the commands used to configure the 802.1Q trunk, it is
probably something quite simple, but I cannot find the commands on the
Nortel website...I am not really a Nortel guru, maybe you can point me
to a link that shows the commands ?
Thanks again for your comments.

Regards,

GP

I'm not familiar with the BayStack 425 command line interface. Does
it use the bad Cisco-clone called NNCLI? If so, this may do it:

config terminal
vlan port <PORTS> tagging tagAll
vlan members remove 1 ALL
vlan members add <VLANID> <PORTS>
vlan port <PORTS> pvid <Default-VLANID>
exit

You can hit ? anytime you get stuck with a command or don't know what
commands/options are available. For example, to see what the vlan
commands are:

config terminal
vlan ?

Hi,
I'll try to explain how to find docs about Nortel products. Some
documents may need password but for BayStack I think it can be
accessible by everyone. So, go to the www.nortel.com and then under
support&training list choose Techical Documentation. After that, You
have to point product by name or by product family. It's on the right
side of the portal. Remember, that now BayStack are named as Etehrnet
Switch so BayStack 425 may be referred as Ethernet Switch 425.

Good Luck,

Artur
