said by cramer:WTF are you talking about? Valid VLAN IDs are 1-4095 (12bits.)
Sorry, not clear in my post I realise.
Im more than aware that VLAN IDs are a 12 bit value, and the various flavours of VLAN limits that are around.
What Im talking about is that hes trying to trunk VLAN 1055 in to the provider. He said he set this because a sub-int requires a VLAN ID, so was it just some random VLAN ID? Was it specified by the carrier?
If the provider isn't expecting or accepting this VLAN tag, or any, then its not going to work. So not "valid" in the context of the circuit hes trying to bring up.
Hence we need more details from this guy, like a diagram, some kind of technical spec from the provider that indicates trunking and/or VLAN IDs or whatever. In any case, more information needed.
