Trunk PowerConnect to Force10 Switch
I managed to stump myself with some networking. Long story short I am trying to trunk all VLANs from one switch to another, but cannot seem to make it work. One switch is a Dell PowerConnect, the other is a Dell Force10. Same vendor different model, so it should work.
I can see that the connection is active, line state is up, VLANs report they are active, the cable has been tested, but I cant seem to ping from one switch to the other. Any pointers? Steps I missed?
Interfaces:
console# show interfaces configuration ethernet g23 Flow Admin Back Mdix Port Type Duplex Speed Neg control State Pressure Mode -------- ------------ ------ ----- -------- ------- ----- -------- ---- g23 1G-Combo-C Full 1000 Enabled Off Up Disabled Auto
and
Force10#show running-config interface gigabitethernet 0/43 ! interface GigabitEthernet 0/43 no ip address switchport vlan-stack trunk no shutdown
Switchport:
console# show interfaces switchport ethernet g23 Port : g23 Port Mode: Trunk Gvrp Status: disabled Ingress Filtering: true Acceptable Frame Type: admitAll Ingress UnTagged VLAN ( NATIVE ): 1 Protected: Disabled Port is member in: Vlan Name Egress rule Port Membership Type ---- -------------------------------- ----------- -------------------- 1 1 Untagged System 10 client private Tagged Static 20 server private Tagged Static
and
Force10#show interfaces switchport gigabitethernet 0/43 Codes: U - Untagged, T - Tagged x - Dot1x untagged, X - Dot1x tagged G - GVRP tagged, M - Trunk, H - VSN tagged Name: GigabitEthernet 0/43 802.1QTagged: True Vlan membership: Q Vlans M 10,20,
VLANs:
console# show ip interface vlan 20 Gateway IP Address Activity status Type ----------------------- ----------------------- -------- IP Address Type ----------------------- --------- 10.0.0.2/16 Static
and
Force10# show running-config interface vlan 20 ! interface Vlan 20 description Server Private ip address 10.0.0.9/16 vlan-stack compatible member GigabitEthernet 0/43 no shutdown

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:

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!
