Hi, 
 
I'm configuring a pair of 4800G's for our network core. &nbsp;I'm using IRF stacking for redundancy, with two fibre connections feeding each edge switch stack, one from each 4800G. 
 
I've created aggregation groups, one for each stack connection, and configured each group as a trunk and added in VLANS as follows (example) 
 
 
interface bridge-aggregation 1 
 
description ABCD Network 
 
port link-type trunk 
 
port trunk pvid vlan 5 
 
port trunk permit vlan 1 3 4 91 97 98 
 
link-aggregation mode dynamic 
 
quit 
 
My hope was that I would then assign two ports (one from each switch) &nbsp;into each aggregation group and they would take on the properties of that group ie tagged on the vlans I specified in the above config - indeed I don't see why the system would let you use 'permit vlan' on an aggregation interface if that were not the case. 
 
Is that the case, or will I also have to configure each port before putting it into an aggregation group? &nbsp; 
 
Thanks, 
 
Mark

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
