      Hi

      I could find this information anywhere, so I decided to ask it here.
      I recently bought a Netgate 6100. Now I want to have 3 VLANs (Local users, management vlan and guest vlan).
      Is it possible to trunk these VLAN to the switch on the same port?
      I have an Aruba switch that has support for SFP and the Netgate 6100 has one as well. So it would be nice if I could use only 1 cable connected from the 6100 to the switch carrying all the VLANs.

      Thanks in advance!

        Yes, I trunk 5 VLANs onto 1 10Gb port on a 7100 to my switch.
        It is nice to save all of those switch ports.

          As above, on my 6100 I trunk everything down a single SFP+ DAC to my first switch. I also use a single 2.5 GbE port for a WAN link to my ONT.

          Having two cables only feels quite refreshing. 👍
