Port Extender management access

Sun Mar 05, 2023 6:50 pm

Hi,

I just implement the Port Controller/Extender on my network, and it works really well (with a CRS309 as controller and CRS326 and CRS328 as extender). But I lose all management access for the extender. The workaround I use is to exclude one port (the 24) from the extender and re-connect it to the port 23 with a small rj45 cable. It works but it looks like a hacky way of doing that.

Now I want to add a CRS305 (4 sfp+ and 1 eth), but it will "eat" half of my port doing that (an SFP+ to another SFP+ as management loop back). So It's not really the best.

So, my question, can we have internal connection of the cpu link to the 802.1BR bridge?

Best regards
