Hi,

Got an issue I'm banging my head against the wall. I've hooked up a Cisco 2960 to a Dell M6348 over an etherchannel trunk supporting 2 VLANS.

The Cisco switch is happy as larry as far as I can see.

DMZ2#show run int po3
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 117 bytes
!
interface Port-channel3
switchport trunk allowed vlan 19,1001
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
end

DMZ2#show int trunk

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan
Po3 on 802.1q trunking 1

Port Vlans allowed on trunk
Po3 19,1001

Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Po3 19,1001

Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
Po3 19,1001

DMZ2#show spanning-tree int Po3

Vlan Role Sts Cost Prio.Nbr Type
------------------- ---- --- --------- -------- ------
VLAN0019 Desg FWD 3 128.72 P2p
VLAN1001 Desg FWD 3 128.72 P2p

Looks good.

The Dell Switch reports the same with the following configuration:

BLADE1#show running-config interface port-channel 1
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 19,1001

BLADE1#show interfaces switchport port-channel 1

Port: ch1
VLAN Membership mode:Trunk Mode

Operating parameters:
PVID: 1
Ingress Filtering: Enabled
Acceptable Frame Type: VLAN Only
Default Priority: 0
GVRP status:Disabled

Port ch1 is member in:

VLAN Name Egress rule Type
---- --------------------------------- ----------- --------
19 Tagged Static
1001 Tagged Static




Static configuration:
PVID: 1
Ingress Filtering: Enabled
Acceptable Frame Type: VLAN Only

Port ch1 is statically configured to:

VLAN Name Egress rule
---- --------------------------------- -----------
19 Tagged
1001 Tagged

Forbidden VLANS:
VLAN Name
---- ---------------------------------


The problem I have is that servers can ping the default gateway but can't ping each other. I also can not ping the servers from elsewhere on the network. The servers are hooked in directly to the Dell switch via access ports on VLAN 19.

I can't help feeling something is wrong on the Dell or the trunk or that I'm missing something. Anyone had any similar issues between Dell/Cisco?
 
Fault found, problem server side with nic drivers.
