Hello @judahnator,

You might want to review the configuration manual for each switch. To simplify, based on your description, you might want to check these configurations guide for PowerConnect and Force10 switch on their port modes:

Force10 switch: https://dell.to/3zDnCkU

PowerConnect: https://dell.to/3zKDYbA

Thanks Joey.

I ended up going that direction. Instead of setting up a trunk I just manually tagged all the VLANs on the "trunk" port and called it a day.

Thanks!
