| 1407990 | 2015-09-06 00:59:00 | I have a D-Link switch (www.dlink.com) which I partitioned into 2 segments and one of those segments is between the RGW (a FritzBox) and the HONT (the normal Alcatel-Lucent unit that Chorus supplies); and it doesn't work. If I put a standard 5-port dumb switch in its place - all is OK. I have looked at the manual (www.dlink.com) and I have created a new VLAN for this but regardless of tagging or untagging, I cannot find a combination that works. What trick am I missing here with regard to this partitioning/tagging/VLANs etc ?? Thanks |

| 1407991 | 2015-09-06 01:58:00 | Why would you want to do that, what are you trying to achieve? Even if you do have a valid use for that setup the switch doesn't need to do any tagging as the fritzbox is doing it. You just want to set the ports as a trunk. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1407992 | 2015-09-06 02:02:00 | I want to mirror the traffic to a spare port and see exactly what is going on between the RGW and my ISP. | decibel (11645) | ||
| 1407993 | 2015-09-06 06:22:00 | RGW? Your router, you mean? Just curious, why are you wanting to see that? Are you suspecting them of some sort of remote administration etc? |

| 1407995 | 2015-09-06 10:31:00 | Can honestly say I've never heard it called that before... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1407996 | 2015-09-06 12:52:00 | It's what Chorus refer to it as. www.chorus.co.nz | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1407997 | 2015-09-07 00:03:00 | The problem you're going to have is that if you are using VLAN 10 tagging on the WAN connection on your router, you won't also be able to have a VLAN ID, either tagged on untagged, on the switchports in between. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1407998 | 2015-09-07 01:34:00 | You can with a trunk, can't you? Or you could just tag the port between ONT and switch and run the router untagged. | Alex B (15479) | ||

I will try that next weekend and see how it works. (I go to Carterton on Fridays) Further to the reason I want to try this, my Snap ADSL connection in LHT only has ports 21 & 22 open of the first 1055 ports. (using www.grc.com to test this) but the Snap UFB in Carterton has a dozen or more; most of them for no apparent reason. I accept that most RSPs have more administrative control for their CLNE in UFB connections than xDSL connections but they shouldn't all the ports I'm seeing. |
