PowerConnect 6224 - allow all vlans on a port
Hi, I would like to know if is posible to configure ports on a dell powerconnect 6224 to allow the pass through and forward of all tagged vlans even the ones that are not configured on the switch. For example:
If:
- on the switch are configured ONLY the vlans 1001 and 1002 (tagged) on interface 1/g1
- the ports 1/g23, 1/g24 are set in this "allow all" config
Then:
-the port 1/g1 will accept only incoming frames with tag 1001 or 1002 and forward them to the ports 1/g23, 1/g24
-the port 1/g23 will accept frames from all 4096 vlans, forward all of them to 1/g24, and also forward 1001 or 1002 to 1/g1
- vice-versa for 1/g24

You can set a range of VLANs on a general switchport mode that is a mix of trunk and access mode with this command.
62xx-Stack-Labnet(config-if-1/g6)#switchport general allowed vlan add 2-10
The switch will produce an error if the command is asking for a VLAN that is not in the VLAN database.
Failure Information
---------------------------------------
VLANs failed to be configured : 7
---------------------------------------
VLAN Error
---------------------------------------
VLAN 3-4 ERROR: This VLAN does not exist.
VLAN 6-10 ERROR: This VLAN does not exist.
You can set up the VLAN as tagged or untagged with this example.
console# configure
console(config)# interface ethernet e11
console(config-if)# switchport mode general
console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 100 tagged
console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 1 untagged
console(config-if)# end
You can add VLANs to the database with this command
console> enable
console# config
console(config)# vlan database
console(config-vlan)# vlan 2-10 (for range)
console(config-vlan)# exit
console(config)# interface vlan 2
console(config-if)# name Marketing
Hope this helps,
Keep us updated if you can.

Hello,
Thank you for your prompt answer. I did know about the range vlan setting in general switchport mode. I was looking however for a setting that will accept and forward all tagged frames, even for vlans that aren't set in VLAN database of the switch. This will be helpfull for configuring uplinks ports on switches and in a L2 network the need will be only in setting the required vlan on ports that are directly connected to customers or services. The frames will then be transported on uplinks(allow all) and to/from customers or services ports (configured tagged or access)
