Got myself a Brocade 6450-48P Switch to replace my HP Procurve. I’m having a bit of trouble setting up VLANs. I have several VLANs configured on my OPNSENSE router, mainly for my WiFi access point, which runs three separate SSIDs. I followed the setup guide from Fohdeesha for the switch.

I’ve tried adding different VLANs using other guides and tagging the ports, but I’m still facing issues. The main reason I got this switch was to use 10G fiber and reduce the cable clutter by consolidating interfaces over that line.

How do I set up the trunk for those VLANs to route back to my switch via the fiber connection?

How do I properly configure a trunk port on the Brocade switch to handle multiple VLANs over the fiber connection?

I am attempting to use VLANS to replicate my diagram below. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
