PowerConnect 3524 VLAN help.
I have inherited the administration of a PowerConnect 3524P. We had to reset it to factory as the prior admin left no credentials. I have never used Dell switches before (used to Netgear or Ubiquiti for Layer 2). I am pulling my hair out trying to accomplish what I think is a fairly simple configuration.
1. Use the G3 port to uplink to our router. So far I get nothing unless the router is connected to any of the ports 1-24
2. Setup ports 1-14 to serve up VLAN 20 from my router. I have set the ports up to be members of VLAN 20 and have it set to tag, but I get nothing. Again, I'm used to configuring this on other brands and I'm sure I'm just overlooking something simple.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
thanks!

Most of the time the ports that connect to end device, workstation, laptops, server, will send and receive untagged frames. Ports 1-2,4-14 can be placed in access mode for VLAN 20. This means that any untagged frames received will be placed on VLAN 20. Ports 15-24 can be left in the default access mode for VLAN 1. Then port 3 that connects to your router will need to be set to Trunk mode in order to allow traffic from both VLANs to traverse that connection.
Here is an example of what the commands would look like.
Console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e1
Console(config-if)# switchport mode access
Console(config-if)# switchport access VLAN 20
Console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e3
Console(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Console(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 20
Your router will also need to have it's port set to tag VLAN 20. If Trunk mode doesnt seem to be working, you can also try general mode.
Console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e3
Console(config-if)# switchport mode general
Console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 20 tagged
Page 494 of the CLI guide has some further info on the switchport mode command.
