How can we: Changes in bulk you can do range of ports Console (config)# interface range gi1/0/5-10 You can also group multiple ports together into a Port-Channel (LAG- link aggregation) Creating LAGs – Static Two-port LAG console> enable console# configure console(config)# interface range ethernet g1-2 console(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode on console(config-if)# exit console(config)# Creating LAGs – Dynamic LACP LAG console> enable console# configure console(config)# interface range ethernet g1-2 console(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode auto console(config-if)# exit console(config)# Sample config for setting up trunk to allow all vlan traffic: (config)# inter gi1/0/20  (config-if)# switchport mode trunk (config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan all If you do set up Port-Channel (LAG) then you would configure the trunk on the port channel level and not the specific individual port. General Questions: The 5548 has limited Layer 3 capabilities. If you are needing Layer 3 then you are better off having another 6xxx/7xxx series switch upstream to handle the routing. Once you have the nic set up for trunk and the corresponding other end of the connection on the switch set up as trunk then your vlans should traverse over the switch. Hope this helps, Keep us updated
I am still wrapping my head around this but:  (New to using PowerConnect Switches...but learning to love them quickly!)  I've gone through the docs but they have not made it stick yet.  Lot's of details below...but hopefully shed some light on my challenges... As much detail as possible....  In my lab at home:   We want to:  (In gernal manage VLAN's at the Virtual switch and up and not on the Physical Switch if possible)   So If we use:  (in HyperV) How Can We:   General Questions:     Thanks for the DESPERATELY NEEDED HELP!!!!  :emotion-43:
