Hello Everyone,

I am new to the ArubaOS-CX environment.  Can someone please help and explain something for me?  On my old procurve we have some ports that are untagged and some that are tagged.  On the new arubaos-cx switch I now I can configure ports to an Access port (which I understand is similar to untagged in Procurve but only 1 vlan) and also can configure a trunk port to carry multiple VLANs  (which I understand are the tagged ports).  My confusion is how do I untag and tag a port on the new ArubaOS-CX?  Is there a hybrid setting that can do this?  Or do I need to change the native vlan on a trunk port.  I'm so confused. Someone please help me understand this.  Thank you in advance. 

They should be very similar, with the concepts being the same. An untagged VLAN on a port is the same as an 'Access' port, and you can have only one assigned to a port. Tagged VLANs make the port a 'Trunk' port. Are you working with the Web GUI, or the CLI (command line)?

For the GUI, you should be able to choose 'VLANs' under the 'Interface' portion of the menu. That's where you should be able to define VLANs and assign them to ports. With the CLI, you login as an Admin user and then enter thed' or ' 'Config' mode. Then enter 'VLAN X' (X being the number of the VLAN you want to create or modify). The prompt should show that you're in that 'VLAN's' configuration mode. You can type 'Untagged' or 'Tagged' along with the port/interface number(s) you want to assign the VLAN to. Conversely, you should also be able to enter 'Interface 1/1/X' to go to a specific port/interface and then associate it with a VLAN using the 'Untagged' or 'Tagged' commands, followed by the VLAN you want associated with the interface that way.

I"m using the CLI.  I tried what you said about going into the vlan config mode and typing untagged or tagged (see screenshot below).  That is not an option.  I even tried it under the interface config mode and when you add a vlan you can only put access or trunk.  no tagged or untagged

My mistake, then. You'll need to do it from the interface side. For example, now that you've created VLAN 254:
6300-1(config-vlan-254)#interface 1/1/2-1/1/8
6300-1(config-if-<1/1/2-1/1/6>)#vlan access 254

sets the untagged vlan as 254 for ports 2 to 6. If you used trunk instead..
6300-1(config-if-<1/1/2-1/1/6>)#interface 1/1/1
6300-1(config-if)#vlan trunk native 254
6300-1(config-if)#vlan trunk allow 20,30,40

That would set port 1 up as untagged vlan 254 and tagged vlans 20,30 and 40, assuming they were already created.
There is also a 'vlan trunk native 254 tag' command that would force tagging for it as well.

I've been switching back and forth between switch brands and AOS-SW and OS-CX, so I may have gotten a bit turned around! LOL...
