connecting 62xx
Thanks a lot. My problem now is i am failing to get the stacked switches dell 6224 firmware 3.2.1.3 to trunk them to another dell switch of the same make and firmware. i cant seem to get the trunk ports working on the two switches. i want to be able to see the machines from the LAN. i also tried to install a wireless access point but it fails. when i connect a laptop to the same port it is able to see the machines. where am i going wrong?

Firmware 4.0 introduces a change in trunk mode behavior. In models that use earlier firmware such as the 54XX and 62XX, trunk mode defaults to no VLAN's and they are added individually to the port. In Version 4.0 and later when a port is placed in switchport mode trunk, the default is all and unwanted VLAN's need to be removed.
Sample trunk configuration:
console# configure
console(config)# interface ethernet e11
console(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
console(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 100
console(config-if)# end
Since you have the 3.2.1.3 firmware you would need to add each specific vlan in order for it to traverse over the trunk.
Also, if you have a LAG (Channel-group) you would need to set the trunk up on the LAG level and not the individual ethernet ports.
Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot. Could you elaborate when you say i need to add each specific vlan? I had routing enabled on my Vlan interfaces and all was working well. unfortunately my supervisor does not want routing enabled. I have been trying to create uplink trunks on the dell 6224 but i cannot seem to have access to the hosts behind the vlans. I have tried the general mode and even this has failed. I really would appreciate a sample config without using routing. another question is does trunking work on 6224 firmware 3.2.1.3? here is a my complete config:
stack#show running-config
!Current Configuration:
!System Description "Powerconnect 6224, 3.2.1.3, VxWorks 6.5"
!System Software Version 3.2.1.3
!Cut-through mode is configured as disabled

I have something almost working but i had to enable ip routing on the stacked switches which is against my supervisors wishes. I cant seem to get the trunk uplink to work. or the general mode unless i enable ip routing. Is it possible to have the stacked environment of these three switches have an uplink connection to another intermediate dell switch for administration and the general population?
I have created a general mode on the stacked environment and one the intermediate switch as in the configs below:
vlan database
vlan 10
vlan 20
exit
interface vlan 1
exit
interface vlan 10
name Management
exit
interface vlan 20
name iSCSI
exit
ip address vlan 10
interface port-channel 1
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 10,20 tagged
exit
interface ethernet 1/g1
switchport access vlan 10
channel-group 1 mode auto
exit
interface ethernet 2/g1
switchport access vlan 10
channel-group 1 mode auto
exit
interface ethernet 1/g2
switchport access vlan 10
exit
interface ethernet 2/g2
switchport access vlan 10
exit
interface range ethernet 1/g3-1/g12
switchport access vlan 20
no storm-control unicast
spanning-tree portfast
mtu 9216
exit
interface range ethernet 2/g3-2/g12
switchport access vlan 20
no storm-control unicast
spanning-tree portfast
mtu 9216
exit
On the second switch i have configured:
interface port-channel 1
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 10 tagged
exit
interface ethernet 1/g1
switchport access vlan 10
channel-group 1 mode auto
exit
interface ethernet 1/g2
switchport access vlan 10
exit
After these configs i am only able to ping the management interfaces and not the host behind the vlan. I need help!!!
