Cisco 2960 to a Powerconnect 6024

Question

Good day Dell Guru's   I have a Dell 2960, that I want to be able to swictch two VLANS on, VLAN 2 and VLAN 4. I want to Trunk this switch to my Powerconnect 6024 which is where all my VLAN routing is and is the Gateway for all my VLANS 172.16.2.1 172.16.3.1 172.16.4.1 172.16.255.1 192.168.100.1   I would like for the 2960 to swich both the 172.16.2.X and 172.16.4.X But forward all traffic to the Powerconnect 6024 which is the Gateway device   I am not an expert at Networking in these details, I know how to configure a CISCO switch, But this is my first expereince with Dell   Can I just set my uplink ports on both the CIsco and the powerconnect for Trunking or does someone know a configuration that will allow me to do this?

cisco trunk port should be something like this:

2960(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/16

2960(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

2960(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 101,102,103

2960(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

2960(config-if)# exit

6024 trunked port should be something like this:

console(config)# interface Ethernet g16

console(config-if)# switchport mode general

sonsole(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 101,102,103 tagged

console(config-if)# switchport general pvid 4095

console(config-if)# exit

All PCs connected to 2960 should have the appropriate interface on the 6024 as their default gateway.
