Why me core switch port becomes tagged & untagged

[deepoce]

Can a port become tagged & untagged at the same time?

What it actually means?

In cisco,port can be either access or trunk not both! Right? Can someone advise & help?

Yes, that is what it is called 802.1Q or a 802.1Q compliant trunk = port tagged in vlan x and untagged in vlan y or a port untagged in vlan x @ t=0 and at t=0+1 tagged in vlan y

in 3Com you can achieve such using trunk or using hybrid link type

In cisco the 'trunk' port is not necessary 802.1Q compliant since it can be a cisco trunk or a cisco ILS

If you mix tagged/untagged on same port, it is "hybrid".



Please note there is a way to force traffic that has no vlan id into a vlan. This is the "PVID" or Native vlan.



In short, you may have any packets that have NO vlan go to a special vlan for different processing or routing.

In a port, you can set different vlans to pass trough. To enable this feature, you must enter the port´s interface, and ser the port link-type to hybrid.

There (check the switch manual) you can set TAGGED vlan traffic, and UNTAGGED vlan traffic.



For example: witch 5500-EI 52ports. On port 52 (gigabit ethernet) i want to pass traffic from 2 different vlans: vlan 1 and vlan 1000. Traffic comming from/to vlan 1000 must be visible on port 48 (wich belongs to vlan 1000)



You must enter:

interface gigabitethernet1/0/52

port link-type hybrid (were are telling more than one vlan is passing trough)

port hybrid vlan 1 untagged (thsi vlan´s traffic won´t be marked)

port hybrid vlan 1000 tagged (this vlan´s traffic must be tagged - marked - using 802.11Q)

port hybrid pvid vlan 1 (native vlan)



I hope you can understand! My english is very poor.
