What should port tagging look like, to isolate switchport VLANs on Instant On 1960 Switch?

  • 1.  What should port tagging look like, to isolate switchport VLANs on Instant On 1960 Switch?

    Posted 23 days ago

    I have an HPE Aruba Instant On 1960 Switch, directly connected to an Aruba Instant On AP11D.  I have have two VLANs defined on the network (VLAN1, VLAN 5), but want to configure a select number of switchports on the 1960 to isolate the traffic of VLAN5.   Should the switchports for VLAN 5 just be left untagged and simply choose VLAN5 as the default untagged network for the ports I want that VLAN isolated on?

    Also I'm also not seeing a way in the Instant On portal to be able to configure the DHCP scope for VLAN5 with specific DHCP variables (domain name, DNS servers, etc.).  Is there a specific level of licensing required to configure the InstantOn networks with that level of detail?

    Hi, 

    Untagged Ports for VLAN 5: If you want a specific port to handle only VLAN 5 traffic (untagged), you can configure the port to be associated with VLAN 5 as "untagged." Untagged traffic means that the device connected to the port doesn't need to be VLAN-aware and any traffic sent or received from that port will automatically belong to VLAN 5.

    DHCP Scope for VLAN 5:  DHCP is available only when an Instant On secure Gateway or an Instant on AP configured in Wi-Fi Router mode is available in the site. The Aruba Instant On switches does not directly manage DHCP scopes for specific VLANs. DHCP services are typically handled by a router, firewall, or dedicated DHCP server on the network. 

    Regards,
