I am trying to Cascade a cisco 2950 and dell powerconnect 5224. I am connecting port 32 on the 2950 and port 24 (gigport) on the dell. Any idea on how I can get the cascading to work? This is what I have on the Dell and the cisco.

Dell Powerconnect 5224:

interface ethernet 1/24
switchport allowed vlan add 1 untagged
switchport native vlan 1
switchport mode trunk
switchport allowed vlan add 1,10 tagged

 

Cisco 2950:

interface FastEthernet0/32
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode trunk

Dell documentationon casdcading between powerconnect and catalyst 4000 talks about setting up GVRP on both the dell and cisco switches. However, 2950 doesn't have GVRP.

Any ideas, tips. Thanks.
