8 Troubleshooting 802.1Q
In order to troubleshoot an 802.1Q problem on a port, a basic understanding of the networking OSI model
is required to assist one with the troubleshooting steps to resolve a particular network problem.
Alcatel’s OmniSwitch supports 802.1Q specifications as defined by RFC 2674/IEEE 802.1Q/D11.
Reading the “Configuring 802.1Q” in the appropriate OmniSwitch Network Configuration Guide is also
