802.1q vlans trunking

Jun 13, 2005 1 Replies

Hi,



First sorry for my poor english.



I have to pass packets between 2 switches with vlans. One of these switches permit to create 256 vlans maximum. I had to configure one port of this switch in trunk mode in order the two switches could communicate. I think I had to add the vlans I want to the trunk port. But can the trunk port transport more than 256 vlans (because of the limit of 256 vlans of one of the switch)?



Thanks in advance for your reply. Best regards,



Julien



Julian-

Why would you want to trunk the port for more than 256 vlans when one of the switches supports max 256 vlans? I'm inclined to say this wouldn't work, but, without more info e.g. switch make/mode, it's hard to say...
