Thanks a lot Daniel! :-) Indeed the "switchport general pvid 299" seems to do the trick BUT and this is I think important: only if you couple with the "untagged" for the same VLAN ID! Note to anyone googling for PowerConnect  6224 linux vconfig, tagged and untagged packets via the same interface: the trick, as suggested by Daniel above, is to add the pvid to the mix; if you want a Linux box to be able to send both tagged and untagged packets the recipe is as follows: on 6224 side: configure interface ethernet 1/gxx switchport mode general  switchport general allowed vlan add 299 untagged  switchport general pvid 299 switchport general allowed vlan add 242,269 tagged switchport general allowed vlan remove 1 end on Linux side: Configure interface as usual for packets in VLAN 299 (in my example above) as for the other VLAN IDs you can add them with  vconfig add _iface 242 vconfig add _iface 269 ifconfig _iface.269 192.168.1.1 ifconfig _iface.242 192.168.2.1
Hello everyone,  I'm trying to configure one of the ports of a relatively old 6224 to accept both tagged and untagged packets. Ideally a Linux workstation should be configured with a default IP address but if I chose to, I should be able to configure additional 802.1q interfaces (e.g. using "vconfig"). On a Cisco this is straightforward:  #swithport mode trunk #switchport native vlan xx  I have attempted the equivalent for the 6224: console(config-if-1/g11)#switchport mode general console(config-if-1/g11)#switchport general allowed vlan add 299 untagged console(config-if-1/g11)#switchport general allowed vlan add 242,269 taggedconsole(config-if-1/g11)#switchport general allowed vlan remove 1 ...at which point all looks OK console#show interfaces switchport ethernet 1/g11Port: 1/g11VLAN Membership mode:General Mode Operating parameters:PVID: 1 Ingress Filtering: Enabled Acceptable Frame Type: Admit All Default Priority: 0 GVRP status:DisabledProtected:Disabled Port 1/g11 is member in:VLAN Name Egress rule Type---- --------------------------------- ----------- --------242 Tagged Static 269 Tagged Static 299 Untagged Static Static configuration: PVID: 1 Ingress Filtering: Enabled Acceptable Frame Type: Admit All Port 1/g11 is statically configured to:VLAN Name Egress rule---- --------------------------------- -----------242 Tagged 269 Tagged 299 Untagged  ... except it doesn't work. I mean tagged packets from the Linux workstation will go through to the respective vlans but the "299 untagged" doesn't seem to have any effects: untagged packets never reach VLAN 299. :-o Of course, setting the port "access vlan 299" works like a charm but that's not what I want.  Looking through the "6200 series manual" it would seem as if the trick should be possible with "trunk" mode also e.g. page 745 of the said manual reads: Syntaxswitchport trunk {allowed vlan vlan–list | native vlan vlan–id } ... but at leas on PCT6224 with the 3.3.11.1 firmware, that's not possible: switchport trunk can only be followed by "allowed" NOT by "native".  Any advice?
