Is this a bug with default vlans ?

Guys,

Been trying to setup a 10Gb link to my switch on OMV using an intel Dual port 520DA-2 (intel 82599 chip) network adapter.

I could not work out why my switch would not bring the port up - so i went digging into the OMV files and found this in the XML file

And here is the network screen - note this box has not had VLANs ever implemented on it - yet in the config file above VLAN ID 1 has been set - on many switches this VLAN will not be accessible or will be heavily restricted

Is this by design that this is in the file or has something gone wrong somewhere ?

Nope i had not done anything with VLANs - and have just set up another interface (the 2nd port on that card) and it did the same thing when looking at the config file)

It looks like it is putting some default value in there ?

OK - i was just seeing some weird stuff on my switches and wanted to make sure this was the case. So as long as no VLANs are configured - this will be populated (as it is a required Integer field) but will be ignored and will not be appended to the packet being sent.

The Brocade/Ruckus switches default to VLAN 1 - but as untagged packets - no way to set them up with tagging - so in this case if OMV was sending out the packets with a tagged VLAN of 1 - it breaks the switching of the packets.
