The place is in Argentina.
I will paraphrase because I´m no network guru, but I kinda get some stuff.
Here´s the map so far:
Router A sends a packet with tag A to Switch C1
Switch C1 tags the packet A with an additional tag, so it becomes A+C, right?
Packet now is tag A plus C so it travels through the network C
Network C (with the +C tag, the packet A moves inside the network C)
Switch C2 receives packet A+C, and removes tag C, so it has only tag A, right?
Packet now is tag A minus C
Router B receives the packet with tag A-C only, meaning just tag A, correct?
In theory, this is what I think is should happen, right?
The issue is, the admin of Network C says that Switch C1 is in access mode, and Router A must be ALSO in access mode too.
What do they mean by that? because in paper, the topology seems to be correct but the admin for Network C must have some security features that are blocking or discarding the packet, because it does not reach Router B, and Router B cannot reach Router A. And the only thing they say is that the router has to be in access mode if not it won´t work.
I can show you part of the config of router A, since actually it does not have anything else:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.756
description --- To redacted - Gi2/3/0.756 - 2000K
encapsulation dot1Q 756 native
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
Then it got changed to
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.756
description --- To redacted - Gi2/3/0.756 - 2000K
encapsulation dot1Q 756
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
Neither worked in the end.
The question is: what the hell does the airport admin mean with ACCESS MODE??? they would not say anything else.
