Netgear M4300-28G to Cisco connection

I'm trying to connect my M4300-28G switch back to a Cisco switch that is out of my control.  However I have been given the config that should go on the M4300-28g's interface so it can talk back to the Cisco switch, which is :

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

 switchport trunk allowed vlan 211,691

 switchport mode trunk

 

 

My current config that is on the M4300-28G 

!Current Configuration:

!

!System Description "M4300-28G ProSAFE 24-port 1G and 2-port 10GBASE-T and 2-port 10G SFP+, 12.0.7.13, B1.0.0.11"

!System Software Version "12.0.7.13"

!System Up Time          "1 days 2 hrs 57 mins 29 secs"

!Additional Packages     QOS,Multicast,IPv6,IPv6 Management,Stacking,Routing

!Current SNTP Synchronized Time: SNTP Last Attempt Status Is Not Successful

!

serviceport protocol none

vlan database

vlan 211,691

vlan routing 1 1

exit

 

configure

stack

member 1 1

exit

no ip routing

line console

exit

 

line telnet

exit

 

line ssh

exit

 

!

 

interface 1/0/1

description 'LN_300_E23'

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan 211,691

vlan pvid 691

vlan ingressfilter

vlan participation include 211,691

vlan tagging 211,691

exit

 

 

 

interface vlan 1

routing

ip address dhcp

exit

 

 

router rip

exit

router ospf

exit

ipv6 router ospf

exit

exit

 

The part I'm having trouble with is the "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q" because I have not been able to get that on the M4300-28g.  Which may or may not be the reason it's not connecting back to the Cisco switch.  Is there something with that, that I'm missing?  Any help with this is greatly appreciated. 

Model: GSM4328S|M4300-28G - Stackable Managed Switch with 24x1G and 4x10G including 2x10GBASE-T and 2xSFP+ Layer 3

Re: Netgear M4300-28G to Cisco connection

Flying over your config it looks like have configued the two VLANs 211 and 691, and the port 1 is configured as a trunk (carrying 802.1q VLAN tags) for the VLAN id 211 and 691.

 

All the other ports on this switch are either unconfigured or are defaulting to an access port on VLAN 1 so all ports are on a third network, different from VLAN 211 and VLAN 691.

 

You need to figure out on how the systems you intend to connect are intended to work with these two VLANs, e.g. some ports as access port for VLAN 211, and another set of ports as an untaged access port for the VLAN 691, as trunks again, ...
