Hello guys,
I have an alcatel switch 6850 which I find some odd config.
Normally for cisco switch, if we can only configure the interface as access OR trunk.
But apparently in Alcatel, I found this both configuration exist in the switch.
vlan 10 port default 1/1 >>>>>>>>> this command makes the switch access port and assigned the vlan, if im not mastaking.
But I also see the same port being used to 802.1Q.
! 802.1Q :
vlan 4 802.1q 1/1 "TAG PORT 1/19 VLAN 4"
vlan 5 802.1q 1/1 "TAG PORT 1/19 VLAN 5"
vlan 6 802.1q 1/1 "TAG PORT 1/19 VLAN 6"
What is the impact of this? What will be the role of this port if these are the config.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Re: 6850 config clarification
Update:
I was reading the manual and found the answer. In alcatel, the ports can support both untagged and tag packets.
But i still dont understand the logic for this use. If you can use trunk the ports then just add the all the vlans in the tag port. (no use ]
Let say, switch A tagging the vlans (ex. 4,5,6) of course switch B also will tag those vlans(4,5,6) to match.

Re: 6850 config clarification
the default vlan is like the native vlan. There is always one default vlan. All incoming 802.3-frames without vlan-tag will be forwarded to this default vlan. Per default tagged packets will be droped. Every 802.1q-tagged vlan has to be allowed at the ports. There is no "allow-all" tagged packets.

In above senario, you are assigning vlan to a trunk port and that port is 1/1. What ever with in brackets are just a description.

Hi, Silvio
Thanks for the clarification. However this scenario no longer exist in 6860 running in AOS 8.4.1.141.R03.
If port assigned to a default then cannot assign to trunk or vice versa.

Re: 6850 config clarification
In R7/R8 switches is the same behavior - only other commands to use it.
vlan xx member port|linkagg x/x/x tagged|untagged
At Alcatel there is no port-type like at cisco. You say which vlans are allowed at this port - tagged or untagged.
