VLAN assigment and Alcatel Omniswitch 7800

[Oxiel Contreras]

Hello Marcel

I did read it, that's why i began to try this setup at the first place, but 
i've to confess my ignorance about the VSA topic, didn't understand it 
completely until recently, thanks a lot for your help.

Indeed you were right, and i was wrong, at least according to what i was told 
from support at first consult.

For your tranquillity and my happiness :) it happens that no licenses were 
needed to support this task, i'll let you know what is the final setup and 
solution.

Thanks for your help again.

Best regards
