Is it possible to assign an ip address/subnet to a route 10 port without a vlan? I have an L3 core switch with a default routed port 10.10.99.1/30 and I want to connect it to a route 10 10G port just using the subnet 10.10.99.2/30.
The Alta Labs config concept assumes every subnet is a VLAN, and every VLAN is a subnet.
However, if you set the configured VLAN with your L3 router link subnet on a port as untagged/PVID, things will work exactly as you expect.
Thanks for your response. I created the vlan and it works fine however the reason I wanted to connect using a subnet only is the way Alta propagates vlans through their system. I can see how it is really helpful, but I just added an Alta switch and it automatically propagated the transit vlan to all ports on the switch - which I DON’T WANT!! Maybe I can group vlans by color for better control. I will look into that. Does anyone have a better idea?
Stick all the ports in a non-black colour group (I’d recommend not using black for access ports in general), remove the NNI/Transit VLAN from the default allowed VLANs for that port group.
(I try to avoid having any black ports/APs on my networks - control is valuable!).
Relatedly, it’d be valuable if Alta Control surfaced the port group settings somewhere other than in the switch config… pony request would be a way to “paint” switchports with a colour, for quick + lazy access port config.
