[c-nsp] Native and management VLAN confusion

[Paul Stewart]

Hi Steve...

Traditionally (if possible) you would have separate management VLAN's to
each site for management purposes.  The intermediary is most likely not
permitting VLAN1 and/or untagged traffic (quite common).

Hope this helps...

Paul

Hi everyone,

We have a scenario regarding VLANs in which I'm confused as to how to 
access the remote switches:


         COE
         2924 XL
         native vlan 1
           |
           |
         trunk
           |
         vlans 500, 501, 502
           |
           |
         intermediary network
         5500
         /   |    \
        /    |      \
    trunk   trunk    trunk
    /        |          \
CPE        CPE2       CPE3
2924 XL    2924XL     2924XL
vlan 500   vlan 501   vlan 502


Untagged traffic does not pass from CPE to COE through the intermediary.

I'm confused as to how I need to configure things VLAN-wise in order to 
be able to remotely manage the CPE switches from the CO, through the 
independent intermediary. The native and management VLAN is 1 on the CPE 
side.

Could someone point me in the direction on the most appropriate way to 
make the CPE gear reachable?

Thanks,

Steve
