Re: VLAN 1 - Native

[Leonardo Uzcudun <uzcudunl@xxxxxxxx>]

Yes, all those points are clear. My question is: can i do anything in the linux side (i can't change the switch config) to make the traffic on vlan 1 to function?

Example: how do those linux-wifi-access points that support vlans are able to have VLAN 1 and other vlans?

Thanks again.

Leo

VID=1 is not the "known" native vlan at all, this is a vendor (stupid ?)
extension.

There is no ID reserved to untagged traffic in the 802.1Q specs, since
by definition, if traffic is untagged, there is _no_ VLAN tag in the
frame.

Untagged traffic on linux is on eth0 itself (ingress or egress), not on
eth0.xxx
