I appreciate your response, In what senario would you use Mode General or Customer so I know? another question; would i be able to plug in a dumb hub into Interface 39 in the example above and plug in more than 1 PC to the hub for all to be on vLan 101?

Thanks,

It's a PowerConnect 5448.

Thank you Daniel.

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for some advise here, i'm using 6224 as core switch and downlink to 2 units of 6224F and also 35 units of 5524P mainly for Wi-Fi and IPTV.   The access point i'm using Ruckus 7352 and 7055 total around 350 units, can anyone suggest the which is the best vlan setup using general or trunk for the uplink between switches and the end point devices is access point which support vlan so should i configure access mode or trunk mode at the PoE switch port. 

Hi Daniel, 

Thanks for the reply, all APs are within single hotel resort premises.  We need to have two VLAN to segregate the traffic for Free Zone and Paid Zone, since it's one room one AP concept so we are connecting the guest room Smart TV Lan interface directly to Ruckus 7055 additional LAN port.

Since Ruckus Controller and AP does support VLAN do you think its good idea to use all 5524 24 PoE ports as trunk port including the switch to switch uplink across all 5524 switches and we manage the VLAN ID setting from AP and gateway.
