haha do any of you know the black magic spells for these supermicro switches?

specifically the XEM-002

specifically what the fuck is this "bridge port-type" nonsense?

specifically I need to configure trunk ports that actually pass frames to each other when they're members of the same VLAN id.

because despite all being members of VLAN 104, none...NONE see a single, solitary frame. and I have no idea why????

help.
