Extreme equivalent of trunking

[brian_osgoiod]

I am having difficulty understanding how multiple vlans are transported between extreme switches (not stacked) and how they are physically cabled. With cisco i create two trunk ports directly connected between switches and pass multiple vlans between these switches on the connected trunk ports or lags. How is this physically performed with extreme. What i see in the extreme documentation is tagging, but I find nothing pertaining to how these tags are assembled on a trunk like port and passed amongst switches...

Oh thank god!

You may have missed my comment above. With 16.1 and later, you can do :

config vlan 10,20,30 add port 5 tagged

yeah, i'm coming around to it... i prefer the cisco way, but it is what it is...

Likewise, on Extreme you create a vlan:

create vlan Classroom102 tag 102
configure Classroom102 add ports 1-48 untagged
configure Classroom102 add ports 52 tagged

Sadly, I don't think there is a faster way to do it with Extreme. The naming of vlans is cool, but it would be nice to be able to tag multiple vlans on a port at once.

But you get the idea.
