PowerConnect 2724 VLAN help

I have installed a PC2724 and it is uplinked to a Cisco 3550.

Example: Cisco 6509 -- fiber-- Cisco 3550 -- fiber--Cisco 3550 -- copper-- PC 2724 -- (need to be VLAN51)

(1) I need all the ports on the PC2724 set to VLAN51. I am unsure of how to configure

the VLAN membership and VLAN port settings areas using the OpenManage Switch

Administrator. (ie Tagged or untagged, PVID = 51??)

(2) All the fiber links are Trunked. However, my understanding is that I need to keep the

uplink on the PC2724 set to VLAN 1 for management access. How do I configure

the uplink port to handle traffic from both VLAN 1 and VLAN 51??

Addressing your inquiries respectively --

To configure an interface to accept and forward untagged frames

VLAN Membership - Create VLAN ID 51, then add the required access interfaces into the necessary VLANs with a U

VLAN Port Settings - Assign the native VLAN (PVID) to coincide with the VLAN Membership ID assigned to the interface -- 51.

VLAN Membership - Remove the interfaces from VLAN 1 by designating a blank "Static" status

To configure an interface to accept and forward 802.1Q tagged frames and accept and forward untagged frames

VLAN Membership - Add interfaces 23 & 24 into VLAN 51 designated with a T, and do NOT remove the interfaces from VLAN 1.

VLAN Port Settings - Ensure the PVID for interfaces 23 & 24 are configured with PVID 1.

Provided the Cisco 3550 has a similar configuration - an 802.1Q trunk with VLAN ID 1 untagged, Native VLAN (PVID) 1, and VLAN ID 51 tagged - there should be no issue with communication.
