Switch CN1610 configure ports

Hi all,

I don't know if this is the right board, but I will select this one.

I acquired a refurbished Netapp Switch for my homelab, and I am trying to configure this, but I am getting stuck when I want to configure a port without any VLANs, and I don't know why.

This Switch is connected to two HPE DL362-G9(vSphere) and a Synology.

(SwitchNetApp) #show version

Switch: 1

System Description............................. NetApp CN1610, 1.3.0.2, Linux 3.8.13-2de1cc1c
Machine Type................................... NetApp CN1610
Machine Model.................................. CN1610
Serial Number.................................. 41011200095
Part Number.................................... 111-00982
Burned In MAC Address.......................... 00:A0:98:EA:6D:82
Software Version............................... 1.3.0.2
Operating System............................... Linux 3.8.13-2de1cc1c
Network Processing Device...................... BCM56820_B0
CPLD version................................... 0x6
Additional Packages............................ FASTPATH QOS
FASTPATH IPv6 Management

This is my problem: I have ports from 1-5 using VLAN 10 for the storage network, and working without issues. In Synology and ESXi Storage is working all is ok with 10Gb connections.

This is an example of the port configuration:

(SwitchNetApp) #show running-config interface 0/1

!Current Configuration:
!
interface 0/1
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10
lldp transmit
lldp receive
lldp med
exit

But for the ports, I don't need VLANs, like for VMs network and ESXi management, I can't get the port to work. On the vSphere switch, everything is ok since I have another switch(1Gb) where I connect, and the ESXi and VMs have a network. But any port on NEtapp switch I try to connect I cant make it work. Ports, cables, and interface cards are ok because if I change the configuration to use VLAN10(like above), it works.

Example of a port withou any VLAN:

(SwitchNetApp) #show running-config interface 0/14

!Current Configuration:
!
interface 0/14
switchport mode access
lldp transmit
lldp receive
lldp notification
lldp med
exit
I have tried everything, with native VLAN1 without, with mode access, and without, and I don't know why nothing works. Since Virtual Switch doesn't have VLAN or trunk, it should be easy, but no.
What am I doing wrong here?

Thank You

LP

Hi there! Unfortunately I don't have one to play with anymore.. have you tried "int vlan 1; no shut"?
