I'd like to accomplish such a goal, make all 5448 switch ports acts like "trunk", that is, just like an entry level switch. Yes, I want all VLAN tags to pass through transparently.
Let me explain it more clearly. If
- PC1 with MAC1 is connected on switch port 1(port 1 for short), PC2 with MAC2 is connected on port 2,
- PC1 sends out an ethernet packet with vlanid=30 VLAN tag,
I want the ethernet packet to be forwarded to port 2 without any modification, that is, PC 2 will receive the packet with exactly the same packet bytes as PC1 sends.
Currently, I want to configure all switch ports to act like this, but how to do this? Any one can tell me the most concise CLI commands to accomplish this? or, can it be done via web interface?
I have to complain again about the poor manual, who talks about this concept and that concept again and again(so many ambiguous statements although the manual author does not realize it), BUT does not explain them at packet-content level, so I'm totally at a loss.
I've tried it from web interface. Simply set port 1 and 2 to Access mode or General mode does not work.
Please help me out. Thank you in advance.
