Hi,

I'm trying to set up my TL-SG5428 switch for ESXi Virtual Switch Tagging:

https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003806

I configured 3 VLAN's in the switch and tried to implement the port configuration according to the KB from VMware...unfortunately not successfully. According to the example in the KB, which would be the equivalent commands for the following two CISCO commands?

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

spanning-tree portfast trunk

Try this lines for
create three VLANs
[*]name the three VLANs
[*]bind the three VLANs to 3 three separate Ports, so you connect a device without VLAN-Support
[*]bind all three VLANs to Port 4 to connect a device, which support VLANs


[CODE]vlan 10,20,30
#
vlan 10
name "mgmt"
#
vlan 20
name "intra"
#
vlan 30
name "dmz"

interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/1
switchport access vlan 10
description "Management"
#
interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/2
switchport access vlan 20
description "Intranet"
#
interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/3
switchport access vlan 30
description "DMZ"
#
interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/4
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30
description "Trunk all VLANs"
#

[/CODE]

You have to do this in configure mode.

Good luck
Ulf

Hi Ulf,

thank you for your input.

I have actually done these steps already in config mode. Based on the description from VMware, after configuring these steps, the following two CISCO commands should be also entered:

- switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

- spanning-tree portfast trunk

My "problem" is to find/understand the equivalent commands for the TL-SG5428 switch. I read the CLI manual, but I am not sure which TL-SG5428 config-commands would do the same as these previous two commands for CISCO switches. Any idea?

Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,

"switchport mode trunk" on the TP-Link is the same like "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q" on CISCO. Perhaps Cisco can also port pased vlans.

For spanning tree I set this one time in the global configuration mode and on every interface, which could be affected:

[CODE]
#...snip
#
ip ssh server
no ip ssh version v1
#
#
spanning-tree
#
snmp-server
#...snip
ip ssh server
no ip ssh version v1
#
#
spanning-tree
#
snmp-server
#
#...snip
#
interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/3
description "Trunk SW001"
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,21,41
switchport trunk allowed vlan 30
switchport pvid 10
spanning-tree

#
interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/4
description "Trunk SW001"
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,21,41
switchport trunk allowed vlan 30
switchport pvid 10
spanning-tree

#
#...snip
[/CODE]

This this configuration there is noch network storm anymore between this two switches.

Good luck.
Ulf
