XGS1930-28 vlan trunking support

Unfortunately, I see that this thread is a year old and went to PM (instead of continuing the thread).  I recently purchased 3 GS1900-8 units to complement some existing TP-Link switches (TL-SG3424 & T2600G-28TS) and experiencing the same issue.  I've been following through this thread and unable to get any devices on the GS1900-8 to talk on the VLANs previously configured.  @Watershed were you ever able to resolve your issue?  If so, what does your final configuration look like?

For my situation, the two TP-Links are trunked together, and then I have a single GS1900-8 connected to a trunk port on the TP-Link, and the 2 additional GS1900-8 units connected through that.  All connected ports have the VLAN Trunk option enabled.  The device at the far end of the link has the PVID set to a non-1 VLAN.  As I'm resurrecting an old thread I won't go beyond those basics for the moment.

Thank you.

Hi, somehow I ended up in this thread trying to find out how I could properly configure my XS1930-12.

I have tried to register with a number of other zyxel support platforms, but they seem to fail on me. mostly because I can't get any technical information.

My setup is rather simple, I have a Fortigate 100F firewall with 2x 10Gbit over copper.
Those are both connected to the XS1930, on port 9 and 10.
I also have 4x Aruba AP515's for wifi access, connected on port 1-4.

Some of the Ssid's and network kit is connected on an untagged VLAN1 (192.168.1.x range).
there are also a couple of other networks on VLAN4, VLAN9, VLAN10, VLAN13.
I have configured the XS1930 management interface both on VLAN1 and VLAN10.

In most other equipment I have dealt with (Cisco, HPE, Fortinet, etc) it provides a benefit which ports to include for specific VLAN's.
In my case I would want to receive untagged VLAN1, and VLAN4,VLAN9,VLAN10 and VLAN13 from port 1-4. Then I would expect to send it tagged as VLAN1,VLAN4, VLAN9, VLAN10, and VLAN13 to port 9.
When I try to configure this as I am used to with other vendors, the switch seems to slow down in unexpected moments, and completely prohibit any connectivity.

On the Fortigate I have separated untagged traffic (connected to port 9), and configured all the VLAN's on port 10, just to avoid any tagging issues there.

Actually when I deleted everything from the VLAN configuration, things seem to work, so I'm going to test it as such.
Still it would help me a lot to understand the Zyxel configuration parameters better, maybe know in what scenarios I would want to configure anything at all.

best regards

Hi Melen,

thank you for your reply.
The Fortigate has the 10Gbit interfaces configured on separate soft-switches.
the first 10Gbit interface is configured natively in a single soft switch, and only carries the untagged traffic (untagged VLAN1). The 2nd 10Gbit interface is configured with the VLAN's which are all independently assigned to soft switches in the Fortigate. The untagged traffic is not assigned on this interface, and the interface doesn't respond to any traffic.
Each VLAN has its own soft switch with IP range, DHCP server and outbound protocol settings. The different Wifi networks are also connected to the separate VLAN's.

Btw, I have RSTP configured on all ports on the XS1930, and disabled MSTP on those ports.

I notice that when I try to connect on the system console through VLAN1 it works most of the time, but through VLAN10 the connection barely ever works at all.
It is my understanding this isn't a connection issue, as the following scenarios always work:
Laptop -> AP -> VLAN1 -> XS1930 -> FW(Softswitch1) -> internet
Laptop -> AP -> VLAN4 -> XS1930 -> FW(Softswitch4) -> XS1930(VLAN1) -> XS1930-console
Desktop -> FW(Softswitch10) -> XS1930(untagged) -> AP(management console.

I wonder if this has something to do with STP, or ARP, or just the XS1930 system console failing...
