How to make a trunk port on Dell PowerConnect 2848

i know how to add vlans...and to add port to these vlan.

I'm not clear how to make a port (gigabit13 for example) working in trunk mode.

That is

Hi Lasandrolopez,

For VLANs that you want tagged you want to use the T setting, which is for tagged. To add VLANs to a port.

In the left navigation menu, click the plus sign to expand Switch, VLAN, and then click VLAN Membership. To add a VLAN to the switch, click Add.

Enter a VLAN ID number and Name for the new VLAN. When finished, click Apply Changes.

In the left navigation, click Port Settings. Make any changes on the VLAN Port Settings page and then click Apply Changes.

You select the vlan on the vlan membership page and choose tagged for that port for all of the vlans that you want it to be in. 

When someone say a "TRUNK port", it means that the port must support 2 tagged VLANs in the same port.

When a port has only 1 VLAN tagged, it doesn't means that the port is a trunk port.

Guys, a "TRUNK" port is a port with more than 1 tagged VLAN. I found no way to configure this on dell 2848....

Does anyone knows how to configure 2 tagged vlans in the same port on 2848 ??

Thanks

Hello,

I have the exactly the same problem.

Have you manage to do it?

Thanks

For anyone looking for a solution to this still I think I found it. 

You need to go to open up the Port Settings page like this

Switch -> VLAN - Port Settings 

There you can configure a port as an access/trunk port

I realize this is old post, but in my Dell 2848 switch, I do not see the "Port VLAN Mode" at all. 

Could you check your firmware version? mine is as below. I am wondering if I need to update firmware... 

Hi CHIRAG11,

Did you find an answer to this? I have the same issue. I don't see the port vlan mode option in the gui and I was told it could be done in the command line with "config-if# switchport mode trunk"  but that's not an available command on the switch I'm using. 

Thanks,
