Powerconnect 6248 to Cisco 2960
Here's the config I'm trying to get working:
Existing network full of VLANs using all Cisco Equip (typically 2960's in the IDFs)
I need to extend one of those vlans out to another building (using fiber) and I only have a Powerconnect 6248 to do it.
I'm using matching SFP+ 10gb modules between both switches and I do get connectivity between the switches.
~Problem~
The problem is that I need to make the 6248 "dumb" in the sense that I just want it to be an L2 extension of the 2960 inside the building. I don't want it to think, route, vlan (inside itself) ... nothing... ! just want it to extend the existing VLAN from the Cisco 2960 that it is connected to.
I have logged into the 6248 switch via console cable and defaulted it (Boot menu option #10) ... but it refuses to pass any traffic to/from the Cisco...
Any ideas?

Let me add a bit more information:
- The port on the 2960 is set for "Trunking"
- The VLANs that need to pass between the two switches are 1151, 1159
- I am using the rear module, SFP+ 10gb on the 6248 (CLI interface ethernet 1/xg1)
- There is link between the two switches.
I have also done the following on the 6248:
- created the two VLANs: 1151 (data), 1159 (voice)
- Put port 1/xg1 into trunking mode (switchport mode trunk)
- allowed VLAN traffic (switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1151)
- allowed VLAN traffic (switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1159)
On the front of the 6248 switch I happen to be testing two devices on port 33 & 39... so I've done the following for those ports:
- Port 33 for testing data, (switchport access vlan 1151)
- Port 39 for testing voip, (switchport access vlan 1159)
Results:
Port 33 (data)...device comes up ok and has general network/internet connectivity
Port 39 (voip)...phone cannot contact server will not come up.
So at this point I have extended data services ... but not phones....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From your description it sounds like you almost have everything setup and working. On the Cisco switches is 1159 setup as a Voice VLAN?
Here is a good article with some information on Voice VLANs.
http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pwcnt/en/pwcnt_voice_VLAN_support.pdf
Your port configuration for voice vlan should end up looking similar to this.
****VLAN 5 is configure for voice****
****VLAN 100 is configure for data. ****
****CoS (802.1p) of 4 is use for the the voice****
Console(config)# voice vlan
Console(config)# interface ethernet 1/g20-1/g24
Console(config-if)# switchport mode general
Console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 5 tagged
Console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 100 untagged
Console(config-if)# switchport general pvid 100
Console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan remove 1
Console(config-if)# voice vlan 5
Console(config-if)# voice vlan dot1p 4
Console(config-if)# voice vlan data priority untrust
Console(config-if)# end
