Cloud IQ and Tagging VLANs with Port types

[bbextreme]

Just looking for some clarification here on how to use Port Types.

Suppose I have the following

• User VLAN (51): access ports and SSID "corp" assigns this
• Guest (52): SSID guest assigns this
• Cameras (53): access ports only

On my access points I should have a Port Type with VLANs 51-52 allowed so that the switch tags these VLANs.

On my camera ports I just use Access port type with VLAN 53

On my uplinks a Trunk with "all" does not work since it does not tag the VLANs for some reason. I need to create a new Port Type called "TrunkTag" (or something) with VLANs 51-53. This way they are actually tagged.

Am I getting this correct? Why doesn't "all" correctly tag all VLANs as I need on my uplink?

I've noticed that the trunking performs better spelling out the VLAN's (51, 52) than using "All". I enumerate the VLAN's to be trunked in my device templates and have no issues.

Hello @bbextreme,

On and AP you would change the ETH port to trunk if you have a physical connection to this port let's say a switch with multiple VLANs, otherwise for wireless clients you would only use the uplink port. The Native will be tagged and all other "Allowed" vlans untagged. 

Here's some more info on this:
