No Switchport command
Hello all,
I have a few power connect 6224's that I am using in a lab to test something out. My question is on the Power connects can I use the no switchport command on an interface like on a Cisco layer 3 switch to change the port from layer 2 to layer 3?
Like I said on Cisco it is just a no switchport command, is there a like command on the dell to accomplish this or is it even possible?
Thanks,

though this post has been sitting here for 2 years. which is a bit sad in reflecting the support of Dell.
I could like to know what is the outcome of this ?
Is the powerconnect 6224's interface port already a layer 3 port ? or there is some other command similar to "no switchport" i need to execute ?
Thanks in advance

The interfaces on the 6224 switch are considered a switchport interface and not a layer 3 port. The no switchport command is used to clear any previous switchport associations on the interface.
In order to set up an IP on the interface you will want to set a switchport mode on the port for a particular VLAN and then set the IP on the VLAN directly.
Example:
console# config
console(config)#vlan database
console(config-vlan)#vlan 10
console(config-vlan)#ex
console(config)#interface vlan 10
console(config-if-vlan33)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
console(config-vlan)#ex
console(config)# interface ethernet 1/g5
console(config-if-Gi1/0/20)# switchport mode access
console(config-if-Gi1/0/20)# switchport access vlan 10
console(config-if-Gi1/0/20)# exit
Then on your directly connected Layer 3 device you would have another IP address from the same subnet to establish a Layer 3 connection.

Sorry for leaving this post unanswered for such a long time.
I hope this helps,
