General rules:
- The router’s ‘ucse1/0/0 + ucse1/0/1’ ports will map to GE0 and GE1 on the blade
- Bridging must be used to join the physical interfaces to the same broadcast domain
- Separate bridges must be used for each VLAN
- To use a native vlan, use “encapsulation untagged”
In our case we wanted to use tagging in the connection to the switch, but put the blade’s GE0 and GE1 interfaces on vlan 123 without tagging:
