Port channel between 6224 and 5548, the Vlan 1 was no traffic.

Between the two switches you should have a Trunk setup.

Example:

console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e5

console(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

console(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 2

console(config-if)# end

The Trunk will allow any VLAN across it you add, plus the Native VLAN. The default Native VLAN is 1, so as long as you have not changed this, VLAN 1 should traverse without any issues.

If you have changed the Native VLAN to something other than 1, then you will need to allow vlan add 1, to the interface.

Thanks.

Thanks your answer.

Unfortunately, I already try it before. This setting could work between my CISCO and 5548 , but not work between 6224 and 5548. In 6224 , i try use the trunk and general , but both not work. Cause this , I need change the 6224 manager IP to other VLAN.

Below is my now setting:

6224: (3.3.3)

cconfigure

vlan database

vlan 1650

vlan routing 1 1

exit

hostname "RackF-L_6224F"

stack

ip address 172.17.0.117 255.255.252.0

exit

I just found out that An interface placed into trunk mode on the PowerConnect 62xx will drop all untagged traffic, including default VLAN 1 untagged traffic. So we should try General mode on both switch interfaces, instead of one Trunk and one General.

Yes, I also find this . And after change both side to General mode, the VLan 1 has traffic.

However, there still have some strange behave. When I was first time just switched Trunk to General mode, it was not working. After clean all port and port channel's setting, then resting again, it works well.

Glad to hear that General mode is working now, thank you for keeping us updated on how you were able to get this implemented.
