I have ether 2 setup as a trunk port with several VLANs running on it. IP addresses, DHCP, etc.. are defined on those VLANs. So - in previous versions of ROS you could just select the master port (eth2) and boom you would have another trunk to carry to another switch or whatever. How is this accomplished with the new versions?
I tried creating a bridge and putting my existing trunk port and the “new” trunk port on the bridge. No joy.
Ideas?
If I’m understanding you correctly, this is not so easy. As you say, creating one trunk port with multiple vlans is a piece of cake…
Doing multiple ports means you need to find your setup on this page and make a bunch of bridges to make it work:

Not sure if this is what you’re trying to do, but if you just need an extra link to the same device for redundancy, you can set up an LACP bond and then your “interface” for the vlans becomes the bonded interface and it works the same as a single interface.
Hi,
Thanks so much for your reply and sorry to not be very clear. The “piece of cake” I was referring to was creating multiple trunk ports prior to 6.4.1 (I think thats right) when the master port designation was still being used. If my trunk port was configured on ether-2-master for example, I could then just slave any other ether port to ether-2-master have the same properties i.e. two trunk ports.
I did create a bridge to test one VLAN - but it did not work.
I will check out the links and see what I can come up with. Thank again for your help. I must be missing some thing simple.
I have been try this for 4 days and have not been able to do it.
I am using vlan 2 an 3 to be available on ether4 and ether5.i have tried a bridge that include all four of those interfaces. Setup DHCP server on the vlans, but I never get an ip.
If I put the vlan on the port, I do get an ip.
