I was working on a dgs1216t that is connected to the dgs1248t .... All I did was enable Vlans and assign ports on the dgs1216t... All network traffic came to a halt. no internet no sql no file shares no printing nothing. All traffic was going thru the 1248 I only had one wire plugged into the 1216. When I enabled vlans for 1 switch did it reconfig all the others? after disabling the vlans the network came back up after restarting several machines and walking dazed users thru restarting apps. All I was doing was setting up tagged vlans on a test switch to test 802.1q compatability with a cisco router.
Any help in understanding what happened would be greatly appreciated. We have done this many times with cisco hardware without a problem. This just burned 2 hours of my day and can't afford a repeat.
Thanks
