Trunking between 2 Powerconnect 6248 switches

Hello
 
I have 2 Dell Powerconnect 6248 switches.
On each switch i created 2 VLANs (VLAN 10 & VLAN 20)
VLAN 10 has ports 1/g1 to 1/g6
VLAN 20 has ports 1/g7 to 1/g12
 
I also connected both switches at port 1/g48 (but nothing more).
 
Now I want to make a trunk line between the 2 switches that carries both VLANs (I've made a drawing - http://www.cryptex.be/trunk.jpg). Communication between VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 should not be possible.
 
I'm kinda stuck on how to achieve this. The manual isn't helping me much further. I tried it through CLI & webinterface but i can't make it to work.
 
Could anyone help or point me to some examples on this ?
 
Sincerely,
Dave

Trunk and Access modes are just short hand for things you can do with General mode.  On another switch I saw issues with Trunk mode not working as I thought it would, so I have just gotten in the habit of using General mode to configure trunks.

What are the advantages or disadvantages of making port g48 general vs trunk mode?

console(config)# vlan database

console(config-vlan)# vlan 10, 20

console(config-vlan)# exit

 

console(config)# interface Ethernet 1/g1

console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10

console(config-if)# exit

console(config)# interface Ethernet 1/g2

console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 20

console(config-if)# exit

  

console(config)# interface Ethernet 1/g48

console(config-if)# switchport mode general

console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 10,20 tagged

console(config-if)# switchport general pvid 4095

console(config-if)# exit

Yeah, thanks from me too bh1633 :o)
 
Sorry texarcana for borrowing your thread, hope that you dont mind :o)
 
It´s working fine, but how come that I am still able to ping all the other networks??
 
I have two 6224 switches connected with a fiber link...
 
in my test lab, on one switch, I have connected a server with 4 nic´s with different ip adresses to diferent vlans.. when I connect my laptop to one off the vlans on the other switch, and enter the correct ip adress, than I am able to ping all off the others as well...

What is the default gateway of your laptop?  If it is the server, then you probably have routing enabled on the server.  If it is the 6248, then you have routing enabled on the 6248.
 
Post your config.and a picture of your network.
