VLAN between GS116Ev2 & PowerConnect 6248

Hello.  I have the attached network with netgear vlan config (above) on all the netgear switches.

Vlan 1 - 192.168.1

Vlan 8 - 192.168.9

I can ping 192.168.9.1 (FW vlan interface) from any Netgear switch.  My problem is I cannot ping 192.168.9 (vlan 8) from powerconnect 6248 switch or from any server hanging off of 6248.  I can get to any 192.168.1 computer from any server that's connected to the 6248.  Here is the interface config for port that is connected to server room netgear switch:

 

interface ethernet 1/g25
description "Port to outside switch.."
switchport mode general
switchport general allowed vlan add 8 tagged
exit

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

  • I finally got this working. Didn't have to do anything else with netgear switches.  On Dell 62XX switches the management VLAN is 1 and the switch refuses to route that vlan so what you have to is create a bogus vlan,  Here is the full 6248 config:

    !Current Configuration:
    !System Description "PowerConnect 6248, 3.3.15.1, VxWorks 6.5"
    !System Software Version 3.3.15.1
    !Cut-through mode is configured as disabled
    !
    configure
    vlan database
    vlan 8,99
    vlan routing 8 1
    vlan routing 1 2
    exit
    hostname "BIGSWITCH1"
    sntp server 192.168.1.1
    clock summer-time recurring USA zone "PSDT"
    clock timezone -8 minutes 0
    stack
    member 1 2
    exit
    !
    ! Right here is where I had to remove the management vlan to bogus VLAN.
    !
    ip address none
    ip address vlan 99
    ip domain-name xxxao.com
    logging 192.168.1.184
    description "remote log server"
    exit
    !
    ! According to the 6200 Configuration guide on page 76:
    ! In order for the VLAN to function as a routing interface,
    ! you MUST enable routing on the VLAN and ON the switch.  This cost me 2 hours.
    !
    ip routing
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
    interface vlan 1
    routing
    ip address 192.168.1.252 255.255.255.0
    exit
    interface vlan 8
    name "iDRAC"
    routing
    ip address 192.168.9.2 255.255.255.0
    exit
    username "admin" password <snipped out> level 15 encrypted
    line ssh
    history size 216
    exit
    ip ssh server
    no spanning-tree
    !
    ! VLAN 1 is default lan---untagged, so have to tag it.
    !
    interface ethernet 1/g25
    description "Port to Netgear."
    switchport mode general
    switchport general allowed vlan add 8 tagged
    switchport general allowed vlan add 1 tagged

    !
    interface ethernet 1/g28
    switchport access vlan 8
    exit
    !
    interface ethernet 1/g37
    switchport access vlan 8
    exit
    enable password <snip> encrypted
    exit

    Are the trunk ports (the ones used for the switch daisy chain - poor users in the lower numbered offices) and the one to the other switch configured as VLAN trunk ports with all VLAN tagged?

      All the netgears VLAN are configured the same as the GS116Ev2

        Show the VLAN Memberships page for VLAN 1 and 8 on the Netgear switches.
