i have problem with trunk port in a PowerConnect 6224.

Question

Hi,

I bougth a new powerconnect 6424 becouse i need to move some configuration to this new swtich.

I have this configuration in a powerconnect 6448 with firmware version 1 :

2 ports in more turnk with 5 vlans in both and 1 vlan native untagged, thus :

interface ethernet 1/e47
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 193,209,225,241
switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 1

exit
!
interface ethernet 1/e48
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 193,209,225,241
switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 1
switchport trunk native vlan 2000
exit

I use this port to connect 2 router with a special services, the services run over first 4 vlan and I use the fifth vlan for permit to communication between this router because there run HRSP protocol for support HA.

Now, when i try to run this configuration in my new powerconnect 6224 with firmaware version 2 i can't to run this command :

switchport trunk native vlan 2000

i read in other thread that this new firmware not support this command.

Anybody can to help me with this problam, I accept thinks about this problem.

I'm not expert in switch and vlan.

thanks,

The 62xx switches do not support the 'native' vlan in truck mode.   The solution is to use 'general' mode.  The general mode configuration for what you are trying to accomplish is: interface ethernet 1/e48switchport mode generalswitchport general pvid 2000no switchport general acceptable-frame-type tagged-onlyswitchport general allowed vlan add 2000 switchport general allowed vlan add 193,209,225,241 taggedswitchport general allowed vlan remove 1exit

Hello,

Thanks for respond my post,

I have one question :

This configuration produce the same effect that a one truk port, because my provider sent me a requirement and they need a trunk port.

Sorry for this questions, but this part of network isn't my hard.

In this moment i can't test this example, but when i will test it, i will told you.

In networking, a trunk port is a port that carries multiple vlans.  The 'general' mode of the PowerConnect switch can be used to configure a port with multiple vlans, including untagged vlans.

I have a PC6224 and a PC6248 I need to configure. The 24 port switch, VLAN 100 & 1 for servers, will have ports 23 & 24 as LAG ports to the 6248 switch, VLAN 200 for clients & ports 47 & 48 as LAG ports. The 6224 will have port 1 connected the router.

I have setup Cisco switches but not Dell Power Connect 6224 and 6248 switches

What is the easiest way to do this?
