VLAN trunk via MPLS
Is it possible to run a VLAN trunk (DOT1Q) from a Central site to a remote over a MPLS connection?
You can do that either by using dot1q tunnelling or port based EoMPLS. For a description of these two features, please refer to the following document:

How many VLANs supported via MACsec VLAN-trunk link?
Hi,
Any one know how many VLANs maximum allowed across a MACsec link between two C6500 with Sup2Ts or between two N7K respectively?
As far as I know, C3750X has limitation of 8 VLANs, according to
•Cisco TrustSec enforcement is supported only on up to eight VLANs on a VLAN-trunk link. If there are more than eight VLANs configured on a VLAN-trunk link and Cisco TrustSec enforcement is enabled on those VLANs, the switch ports on those VLAN-trunk links will be error-disabled.

Encrypting vlan-trunk traffic between switches
Hi,
Can anyone guide me to some papers or other resources on how to encrypt traffic between 2 switches. The switchces will be connected with fiber and use dot-1q tagging. And I wan't to encrypt all of the trunked traffic.
I was thinking of L2TP, but I haven't found any good description on how to implement this. I have two 3750 switches I thought I might use.
Thanks for any input,
Regards,

NorwayHi,
Thanks for the response. I had a look at MACsec and it looks good. I would have liked to employ something P2P though, to also limit the ammount of MAC addresses broadcasted on the "wire". But let me first give you an understanding of the task:
We have two sites, connected via fibre and we want to create a VLAN trunk across and order to expand the broadcast domains to te other site.
The IDIOT carrier, has a limitation on the number of MAC addresses they allow on the fibre service, 100.
We also need to encrypt the datatraversing this connectivity.
MACsec wuold work 100% exept the source and dstination MAC addresses are still sent (at least according to https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:LEf2qOmYZyYJ:www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2011/bn-hutchison-macsec-sample-packets-0511.pdf+&hl=en&gl=za&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESgmAHXpDOY0RBAE-Rv1HDpu_C_gkeSPN4cv6NGgyP0M1aXVu0UqzCfxo8t_P41ep6J37k4OLKnjfp1M9hoTDHxY22WGz2h7yB7YRLyPvRUbGS8TICzvEMlG92xqbhy6RWFugmnj&sig=AHIEtbTfu0LQIJejdYidE6yzq4lpPifxjQ
And that would cause me to eat into the 100 MAC limit.
Ridiculous I know, but we are looking for an out-of-the-norm plan...

VLAN trunking from Cisco Catalyst 3750 to Cisco SF300-48P issue and related
Hello expert,
I'm having difficulties to configure VLAN trunking between Cisco Catalyst 3750 switch with Cisco SF300-48P switch and my workstation unable to get any DHCP IP from our DHCP server via Cisco SF300-48P switch. Below is the snippet of configuration on both switches:
[Cisco Catalyst 3750 Switch]
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/45
description NCC-CC-1stFlr
no switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
no switchport trunk allowed vlan 101-103
spanning-tree portfast
[Cisco SF300-48P Switch]
interface fastethernet48
spanning-tree link-type point-to-point
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 101-103
macro description switch
!next command is internal.
macro auto smartport dynamic_type switch
interface fastethernet29
switchport mode general
switchport general allowed vlan add 103 tagged
switchport general pvid 103
Are these are correct? Kindly advice!
Thank you very much!
Regards,
AlexHi Alex,
for the trunk port on Catalyst on port GE 1/0/45, we need to enable the trunk and for on encapsulation dot1q because this catalyst model is ISL capable also and the SF300 working only with Dot1q Encapsultion
The configuration on catalyst should :
#config terminal
#interface Gi 1/0/45
# switchport encapsulation
#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
#switchport mode trunk
#switchport trunk allowed vlan 101-103
#spanning-tree portfast
For SF300 the port trunk it looks fine but for the port where the PC should receive an IP address
#interface fastethernet29
#switchport mode access
#switchport ccess vlan 103
Please let me know after this configuration
Thanks

Does the 8540 support VLAN Trunking
I would like to VLAN trunk four VLANs(8540 bridge-groups) from an 8540 switch router to a Cat 5000. I have not seen in Cisco's documentation anything that indicates that the 8540 supports VLAN trunking.
8540 supports both ISL and 802.1q VLAN trunking

Decided we'd give the Cisco 300 series switches a try and see
what we think about them compared to our Cisco Catalyst 2960 switches.
I'm already stumped on setting up VLAN trunking between 4 switches. Do I have to manually setup all the VLAN's on each switch? I set them up on the first switch and was expecting GVRP would propagate them to the others like VTP.

WRVS4400N VLAN trunking question
Hi all,
I just got a SRW224G4 today my main objective is to trunk 30 VLAN(s) to my WRVS4400N for interVLAN communication. So far I set G1 on my SRW as a trunk port and linked it to port 2 on my WRVS4400N (which is also set as a trunk).
So far no good when I go into LAN settings I do not see an option wheree I can set DHCP addresses or gateways for these VLAN(s). Is this even possible with the WRVS4400N I meen if Linksys is going to provide a small business solution atleast their equipment should support VLAN trunking with each other.
If anybody knows the solution to this please let me know.
CheersFrom what I know, although the WRVS4400N has support for port based VLAN setup, it does not give you the option to set different DHCP addresses for each of the 4 VLANS.

Hello,
does SG200 supoort VLAN Trunking?Hello, I think there is support:
I found this site too which shows how to configure it: http://lachlanmiskin.com/blog/2012/08/01/cisco-sg-200-08-trunking/
Cisco's datasheet says it supports tagging 802.1q.

VLAN trunking newbie SRW208MP to SRW2008MP
Hello All,
Just need a simple setup - 2 VLANs, a few ports each, on each unit, trunked together (ultimately on SFP module). Tried what seems to be right but (natch) not working. Just need simple guidelines to see where am going wrong. Thanks!OK, well, using that example, as well as another thread here (Cisco SLM224P
VLAN TRUNKING), I reset and redid all the VLAN related settings.
There are 2 subnets in play here -
10.51.0.0/255.255.252.0 - VLAN 1 - Used as the Management VLAN.
10.51.4.0/255.255.255.0 - VLAN 5 - A subnet for Wireless LAN POE connection and management.
And 2 switches -
198 is a SRW208MP, remote unit. will have single WAP and various devices.
199 is a SRW2008MP, at head end near subnet(s) source. Will have up to 4 WAPs and the
connections required to provide for both subnets.
For purposes of discussion, the planned fiber SFP interconnect is being played by a copper trunk.
Setups follow:
198 VLANs-
198 Port Setting-
198 Ports to VLAN 1-
198 Ports to VLAN 5-
198 VLAN to Ports-
Unit 2 - 199
199 VLANs-
199 Port Settings-
199 Ports to VLAN 1-
199 Ports to VLAN 5-
199 VLAN to Ports-
The configuration as posted does not provide the expected results.
I am convinced I am overlooking something simple. Usually is!
The net results are that the Management VLAN (1) is present and accounted for on both switches, but that could even be because they are acting as switches do.
The VLAN 5, however, does not function at either end. The 'Local' switch, 199, shows traffic on the WAP ports but no traffic of any consequence is traversing and the WAPs are nonresponsive.
Ditto Remote switch. Management VLAN yes, 5 VLAN no.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. -
Hi,
Im configuring a vlan trunk between 2 switches but I'm having a problem somehow.

Then lastly on switch 2 I created a port for an Ubiquiti access point with following settings.
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/24
switchport trunk native vlan 10
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30,40
switchport mode trunk
end
But my AP doesn't seem the get an IP. Where as if I plug it in on Switch 1 it does with the same settings.
So I am assuming there is something wrong with my trunk. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
MichaelHere are a couple of observations:
1. The switchport trunk encap dot1q command was not applied on the 2960 because 802.1q trunking is the default. The 2960 series switches do not support ISL encapsulation, as the OP observed. There is, therefore, no need to manually specify the trunking protocol. The show int g1/0/24 switchport command confirmed that trunking is working. I find the show int g1/0/24 trunk command to be more informative in this context. It tells you what VLANs are active and trunking between the connection.
2. You do need to define VLANS 2-30 on your second switch. You can do so manually or you can configure VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP). VTP is your easiest bet. Example config:
Switch 1
sw1(config)# vtp mode server
sw1(config)# vtp version 2
sw1(config)# vtp domain MY_DOMAIN
sw1(config)# vtp password MySecret
Issue a show vtp status in priv exce mode to very your settings.
Switch 2
sw2# show vtp status
Do this command FIRST and make sure that the configuration revision number is smaller than the revision number of SW1.
VTP Operating Mode : Client
Maximum VLANs supported locally : 255
Number of existing VLANs : 25
Configuration Revision : 174
If config revision on SW2 is greater than config revision of SW1, then issue following command:
SW2(config)# vtp domain bogus
SW2(config)# vtp domain MY_Domain
SW2(config)# do show vtp status
Your config revision should go back to zero.
Now issue the same commands on SW2.
SW2(config)# vtp version 2 (pretty sure that is default, but I issue it anyway)
SW2(config)# vtp mode client (means you cannot define VLANs on this switch. Most admins prefer that only one switch be capable of creating VLANs).
SW2(config)# do sh vtp status
The config revision was important because injecting a switch into your network that has a higher VTP revision can overwrite your existing VLAN database. If that happens, chances are that most of your network traffic will cease to function as all of your access ports will be in a VLAN mismatch mode. -
I have not been able to configure a VLAN trunk at a CE-500. I configure the port using CNA as router and specify the native VLAN, but I do not know where to specify the allowed VLANs. The port is connected to a Cisco Router with sub-interfaced configured. When I click on "modify" the smartport, an small windows quicky opens and closes, only leaving an option for the native VLAN. What am I doing wrong? How do I specify a port as a trunk port?
Thanks a lot for the help.
Juan SI believe you are aware of creating the standard Cisco IOS procedure for creating VLAN trunks.
under the interface configuration mode, in which you need to create a trunk,
switchport mode trunk
switchport mode trunk encapsulation isl/dot1q
switchport mode trunk native vlan
switchport mode trunk allowed vlans
But if you are already using these commands correctly, still you have the problem, I want you to let me know the following informations.
1. What error message you receive at the console while implementing trunking?
2. What is the other end device with which you are trying to establish trunk?. -
Implementing MPLS over VLAN trunk
We are investigation the options of running MPLS between our two core switches (C6509 with dual Sup720s) with the aim of introducing MPLS VPNs. These two core switches are linked via a Layer 2 trunk in a collapsed backbone topology.
Is it possible to create a point-to-point MPLS-enabled link between these switches on a VLAN interface between these switches, rather than an a dedicated physical port? It is anticipated that these two core switches will be PE routers (also acting as RRs, if required).Its possible to run MPLS on any media with IP configurable for it. So till you have IP reachbility on a media, you can run MPLS.
As in your case you can very well run MPLS on an SVI reachable both sides over a trunk.
But as a after thought, why do you want to do this, although its possible, why do you want to carry other vlans on the same trunk which also carrier the internconnect vlan for the PE's.

Problem with VLAN Trunking within RHEL6.6 VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2?
Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a known issue with using a "trunk" mode interface within a RHEL6.6 VM? I found the following article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn531026.aspx
Where note 1 reads:
"For this specific RHEL/CentOS release, VLAN tagging may not work when used in conjunction with trunk mode".
I've been fighting with this for the better part of a day and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have a RHEL 6.6 VM with two NICs. The first NIC is a standard access mode NIC - no problems there.
The second NIC has been set up as follows (via PowerShell):
$a=Get-VmNetworkAdapter -VMName "My VM"
Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -Trunk -VmNetworkAdapter $a[1] -AllowedVlanIdList 101-105 -NativeVlanId 1
Note that the physical switch and switchports are configured to send tagged packets for these VLANs as well.
I then set up a VLAN (eth1.102) based interface in the VM ... and never receive any traffic on it.
What I've observed is that:
A VM on the same physical host using the same virtual switch can communicate with the VM on the tagged VLAN
A pcap of the "eth1" interface (to which eth1.102 is bound) shows traffic for VLANs 101 through 105 arriving ... I just never see the traffic for VLAN 102 forwarded to the eth1.102 interface
An identical network configuration using Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS works exactly as expected
It's this last point that has me wondering if the problem is with RHEL and not Hyper-V (or the physical/virtual switches involved).
I'm curious if anybody else has seen this behavior or, if RHEL 6.x is working for you, if you're using Intel or Broadcom NICs on the physical Hyper-V host?
Thanks,This is indeed a known issue with RHEL. There's a bug open with Red Hat on the issue, and our understanding is that they have a fix in progress that will be part of a RHEL 6.6 update. You might inquire with Red Hat regarding
their bugzilla #1135347.

Point to Mulipoint L2VPN trunks over MPLS
Can we have trunk between more than 2 CE over MPLS in short we are looking for the point to multipoint MPLS L2 VPN where more than 2 CE will share the common ethernet segment over MPLS to share the vlan database
Let me give more info @ solution which we are trying find out
CE1,CE2,CE3 & CE4 are the core switches at respective location, we are looking for the same vlan database between these core switches over the MPLS
CE1 will be connected to PE1
CE2 will be connected to PE2
CE3 will be connected to PE3
CE4 will be connected to PE4
so can we have the L2 vpn between CE1,CE2,CE3 & CE4 where the interface connected to respective PE's will be TRUNK ?hi
thanks for the pdf, I had tried the VPLS earlier. the circuit are coming up but I am not able to ping between CE's Vlan ip address although VC are up
