Per-port vlan sttings

Hello community,

 

Would someone tell me to what refers the per-port vlan settings section When creatin a new vlan in a MX?

 

I'm configuring a MX 84, I've 10 ports to configure in this section (from 3 to 12)

 

Thank you beforehand

Not fully sure what you mean but create your SVI on the MX then assign your VLANs per port. Click each LAN port and assign your VLANs accordingly

I can understand that those ports are here to activate my Vlan interface?

 

But what the relation between those ports and downlink port between my MX and Ms (in my case the MX is connected to MS425)

layer 3 interfaces on your MX and then trunk the required VLANs down to your switches where you would assign them to your edge switchports.

 

Or, as you have quite a beefy core switch you would probably assign your SVIs on the core, trunk those down to your edge switches and have a routed interface upstream to your MX.

 

First option may be more suitable if you’re going to block inter vlan routing between certain VLANs using the firewall rules within the MX.

 

All depends on your design and requirements
