Hi,
I have an issue where a port on a switch that goes into a qinq port allows communication on the port default vlan.
By default all ports on the Alcatel have a port default vlan 1. I assume this is the same as the native vlan on a Cisco switch.
Does anyone know how to disable the port default vlan.
At the moment I am working around the issue by creating a new vlan and making this the port default but I do not consider this a good solution because if the client on the other end decides to use this vlan at any stage I will be encountering the same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Disable port default vlan / native vlan
Re: Disable port default vlan / native vlan
afaik you can't remove a default vlan from a port (each port needs a default vlan).
What happens if you set a vlan (e.g.1 or 111) and then disable this vlan?
"vlan 111 admin disable"

"vlan 111 admin disable"

Hi,
Thanks devnull for the suggestion disabling the vlan does put that into a blocking state. I am still waiting to hear if it stops the cdp and lldp and other traffic like I want it to. If this works I am happy with it as I then only need to waste a single vlan to stop this traffic on unwanted ports.
To rekeds where I want to disable the native vlan it is just straight 802.1q but there are some ports going into qinq access ports but it is not always an Alcatel switch but I that it goes into so I cannot block specific vlans on qinq access ports on other vendor switches.
Thanks for the help.

Hi, setting up a vlan and then disabling it works well.
You can also add the port default for different interfaces for the disabled vlan so it is very straight forward.
