Also, it shouldn't matter if you are using either general mode or trunk mode, as long as you have the two connected ports in the same mode (which we have), since VLAN 1 should pass over the connection anyway, respectively tagged or untagged, without problems.
The different switch models have different firmware levels. Based on that the switchport modes can have slightly different behavior. Theoretically you are correct about having the same modes on both ends and it should pass VLAN 1.
Because of the behavior of the spanning tree protocol in this instance we are wanting to set a trunk on the 8024 models to see it we can get the best response.
If you feel that it is a firmware issue that is the cause. You do have the option to call in a get the scenario documented and then submitted for firmware revision.
The documentation for the M8024 states:
Trunk — Trunk-mode ports are intended for switch-to-switch links. Trunk ports can receive both tagged and untagged packets. Tagged packets received on a trunk port are forwarded on the VLAN contained in the tag. Untagged packets received on a trunk port are forwarded on the native VLAN. Packets received on another interface belonging to the native
As per your request, we've configured port Te1/1/3 on switch-b1 and the same port on switch-c1 to use trunk mode, now the only configuration for that ports is the following:
interface Te1/1/3
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
exit
But switch-c1 is still isolated from the network.
Also, the received BPDUs are still 0.
Please see below the details for the interfaces in question.

Hi Willy,
As per your request, we've configured port Te1/1/3 on switch-b1 and the same port on switch-c1 to use trunk mode, now the only configuration for that ports is the following:
interface Te1/1/3
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
exit
But switch-c1 is still isolated from the network.
Also, the received BPDUs are still 0.
Please see below the details for the interfaces in question.
What can we do next?
Thanks.
