Hello fellow humans, I have a question/situation:
We have two cabinets in a colo. We will call them cab1 and cab2. Currently, cab1 has a netscreen-520 and an ex4200. Cab2 has another ex4200. My plan was to create a bgroup and connect each switch to the bgroup so the switches could communicate, as opposed to connecting them with fiber directly to each-other. Both switches contain 4 vlans. My question: If the switch ports connected to the bgroup are trunk ports, will the netscreen pass the tags like a switch to the other switch connected to the bgroup, or will it still try to route the packets? The definition of a bgroup in documentation calls it "ethernet switching", so it sounds like it should pass them. I guess my next question would be is what configuration would I need to do on the bgroup to make them trunk ports on the netscreen side. Sub-if?
If I need to clarify, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
