Dear All,

Is Cisco Express 500 switch support 802.1q trunk?

Also, all fastethernet port on CE500 will assign VLAN 10. I would like the switch to allow VLAN 20 and 30 to pass through the trunk? Is it possible?

Thanks.

Hi,

The CE500s do support trunk interfaces and you can configure them to permit any VLANs as you choose.

Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.

Is it simply configure the port role to "switch" and the port will become dot1q trunk?

Besids, is there command line interface for configure the switch?

Thanks.

Yesh, set up the port role to switch to make it a trunk.

Unfortunately, the CE500 series switches cannot be managed through a CLI - you have to use CNA.

Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.
