Hi Mark,

Your plan looks good. The commands changed slightly between models, instead of interfaces being designated Ethernet e1 or g1 it is Ethernet 1/g1

ftp.dell.com/.../powerconnect-6248_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf

Page 293 is for interface configuration.

Private VLAN mode does not exist anymore, instead you use switchport forbidden to deny access to the VLANs you don’t want the wifi to access and only allow port 3 to access both VLANs. Page 597 switchport forbidden vlan add

hi josh -

my original 3248 setup script was written by using this very hand guide written by Greg Gibb nearly 10 years ago.

again, i am a real noobie.  is there a place in the webpage interface where i can specify a port as an ethernet "uplink" ? 

i would really rather not have two ethernet uplink cables if i could help it, since the old 3248 switch only had one.  

also, i see the g3&g4 ports were eliminated.  

--or--

you would be my friend for life if you took a look at my original script and "edited" it for me.  i started, but i quickly ran into problems (below)  ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED !
