Yes Milan, that is correct i remember now.

You have to enable the tagging on the CPU port to receive the tagged packets.

What i don't remember is why this switch was coded with the tag/untag
feature per port and not per vlan, but i guess that was because i
don't have the docs for it.

While you can't have the hybrid setup, the trunk setup works fine with FreeBSD.

And, yes, we need to get a better man page. If you have suggestions
you can send it as text diffs to me, otherwise i'll try to get more
working examples when i have some quality time with my RSPRO/RB450G
again.

Thanks,
