Assigning an 802.1Q Group to a Port
Previous versions of the Omni Switch/Router (version 4.0 and earlier) only allowed for single
spanning tree configured 802.1Q groups using the
commands. These commands were invalidated in the 4.1 release and replaced by the
,
, and
service commands.
The procedure for assigning an 802.1Q group to a port is slightly different, depending on
whether the port is a 10/100 or Gigabit Ethernet module port. (For additional information on
Gigabit and Kodiak-based Ethernet modules, see Chapter 15, "Managing Ethernet Modules.")
Up to 64 groups can be supported using multiple spanning tree on an
ASIC-based Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet modules.
For Release 4.4 and later, Kodiak ASIC-based 10/100
Ethernet modules support
OmniChannel in multiple spanning tree mode.
However, you must first create an OmniChannel before

Ethernet Modules" for information about OmniChannel.
For information about the differences between single
and multiple spanning tree, see Single vs. Multiple
Spanning Tree on page 16-4.
In most of the procedures described in this section, the screens displayed vary, depending on
what type of board and ASIC you are using. By viewing the front panel of your module, it
should be easy to determine which procedure applies to you.
Ethernet modules are designated by ESX-K. Gigabit modules are designated by either GSX-K.
Modules with a
on the front panel are Kodiak ASIC-based modules. For example, a module

For information on assigning an 802.1Q group to a 10/100 port, see Configuring 802.1Q on
10/100 Ethernet Ports on page 16-8. For information on assigning an 802.1Q group to a Giga-
bit port, see Configuring 802.1Q on Gigabit Ethernet Ports on page 16-11.
802.1Q Omni Switch/Router tagging does not work
with OmniCore 5200 tagging unless the OmniCore soft-
ware is version 3.0.19 or later.
