disable VLAN or full VLAN pass passthrough

[Tim3]

Hi

Currently I use a HP Procurve 2610,

other switches might be possilbe

I have a VLAN-Trunk with more than 256 VLANs

and I did not need the VLAN funtionallity of the Switch.

Is it possilbe to deaktive VLAN-funktionallity

to simple forwarding the VLAN-Trunk?

bye

If you are using GVRP you can stop specific VLANs from being propagated.

if you are not using GVRP, then just don't tag the VLANs on the uplink/trunk ports.

Hi

INFO:

On my Testing-Switch I did the following previosly:

HP-3800-48G-4SFP+(config)# max-vlans
 <16-2048>             Enter an integer number.

HP-3800-48G-4SFP+(config)# max-vlans 2048
-> then reboot

HP-3800-48G-4SFP+(config)# gvrp
Current VLAN limit exceeds GVRP's allowable 256 limit.

so I think gvrp will not work?!?

Tomorrow I will try to set all ports to untagged.

Hi

I cleaned up the vlan config

and set all ports to untagged.

vlan 1
   name "DEFAULT_VLAN"
   untagged 1-52
   no ip address
   exit

no tagged frames pass the switch!

any further ideas?

bye

If you only have a single (untagged) VLAN, then the switch will only process untagged packets. If you want it to process tagged packets, you will need to tag them on the trunk port.
