Actually you don't need to get away from running untagged on the admin interface in order to get where I think you want to be.
Assuming that SmartOS doesn't barf and refuse "vlan_id": on the admin nic, it's completely OK from a protocol perspective to simultaneously run native (untagged) and 802.1q tagged on the same physical ethernet port. Basically, a device that is looking for native frames but sees an 802.1q frame will say "not me, wrong ethertype" while a device that is expecting an 802.1q encapsulated frame but sees a native one will say "not me, wrong vlan". Wikipedia has a picture that illustrates handily why this works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1Q#/media/File:Ethernet_802.1Q_Insert.svg I haven't labbed this up with SmartOS, but I have had it working for years with a (long in the tooth) Solaris 10u8 box. The switch config for a Juniper EX2200 is below, but any relatively modern gigabit ethernet switch from any vendor ought to have a concept of a native vlan on a trunked port. rs@ex201> show configuration interfaces ge-0/0/0 description "testbox.seastrom.com bge1 management and service trunking"; unit 0 { family ethernet-switching { port-mode trunk; vlan { members [ rs-prod rs-lab rs-backend ]; } native-vlan-id mgmt-console; } } rs@ex201> Hope this is of some value. -r > On May 9, 2016, at 12:33 PM, Akhilesh Baddie am <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Can you tell me the possible solution Robert ! > How to handle this set up by sending some instructions ..that can help me a > lot to solve this issue. > > Thank you. > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On May 7, 2016, at 5:13 PM, Robert Mustacchi <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> On 5/7/16 14:02 , Rune Tipsmark wrote: >>> admin_vlan_id=130 >> >> In SmartOS, the admin nic tag is always treated as being an access mode >> VLAN.
