we have a lot of private plant-floor networks (mfg company, generally createa a new vlan/non-routed network for each line on the plant floor)
normally we've been having mulitple nics/phsyical interfaces for a main backup server to talk to devices on each of the lines
we've moved a few of these to a dot1q connection to get rid of having multiple physical interfaces
so, say the server has a production (routed) ip address and then private non-routed ip address on each vlan (for the private plant floor networks)
say the production server is on vlan 20
what should i define on the switch&server as the native vlan?
should i assume vlan 20 to dump any non-tagged traffic right into that?
or should i have it dump it into vlan 1 (default/non-routed)
what's the best practice here?
