Force10 Hybrid Switchport w/ Native VLAN – advertisingemergency.net

Configure a Dell Force10 switch edgeport for single-nic devices with multiple interfaces (e.g.: VoIP, shared IPMI).

For devices that utilize a single NIC for multiple networks, we’ll configure the switchport to have an untagged (native) VLAN, as well as an additional tagged VLAN(s). I’ve used this for VoIP devices that weren’t utilizing 802.1X for VLAN assignment, as well as for servers that had a single nic for both data and management.

Configure the switchport interface

# interface GigabitEthernet 0/0
    description VoIP_device
    no ip address
    portmode hybrid
    switchport
    no shutdown

The key here is portmode hybrid

Configure the VLAN interfaces

Untagged (native) VLAN

# interface Vlan 111
    description data_network
    untagged GigabitEthernet 0/0
    no shutdown

Tagged VLAN (repeat as necessary for add’l VLANs)

# interface Vlan 222
    description management_network
    tagged GigabitEthernet 0/0
    no shutdown

Note that these aren’t full interface configs
