Enable multiple ports in same subnet

John Nickell

We'd like to deploy an XGS 126 to a field location, and to avoid the need of sending an additional 'access layer' switch, I'd like to configure multiple ports to participate in the same vLAN. 

I know how to do this on a switch (HP) without thinking about it, but I'm not seeing what looks like the correct clues on how to do this.  

I'm thinking setting up a Bridged interface but I'm not entirely sure that's right either.  

Looking for guidance if anyone can share. The goal is for the few end users that need to hardwire a connection in the field location they'd just be plugging directly into one of the specific ports.

    I believe that Bridging would work. I do that to bridge a server on one port with an AP on another port. Then you can add the bridged interface to the VLAN.

    I didn't see your response before I posted mine.  Thanks for the confirmation. I did see that it the way I went about it the firewall seemed to "lose" the vLAN and DHCP server I'd setup for the scope at some point.

    i.e. I had previously had port 1 configured with the desired subnet as a vLAN to connect to an external switch. At one point in my configuration I had included that vLAN as a member of my Bridged interface.  Later I removed it from the Bridge Interface (but not intentionally from Port 1) and some point after that I notice that the vLAN and it's associated DHCP scope were missing.  

    I'm not in production yet and didn't have anything special setup so I just recreated it and moved on.
