Thank you for the suggestions, unfortunately none of them are working. I have tried with the uplink in general & trunk mode. I have allowed all vlans and allowed only the specific vlans I am using tagged and untagged, but it is still not passing vlan 12.
yep , verify how dell tags the vlans , it may use a proprietory tagging method for the trunk. On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 5:36 PM, Alan Bryant <alan@alanbryant.com> wrote:

If it's still not working, try capturing traffic from the Dell switches with Wireshark and then send traffic from the Cisco switch and also capture that. Compare the frames and check that the salient parts line up - e.g. Ethertype.

He already posted his response of getting it working. But in general, Dell switches interop just fine with Cisco and Juniper switches for VLAN trunking. The CLI on the Dell switches is a royal PIA to use. Tries to be Cisco IOS, but not quite. Different enough to make you sware at it. And if you want to do something like setup many VLANs trunked to different port groups, and single ports, your config will be 1000's of lines long (depending on which switch you have. Since each of the different revs of each families seems to be made by a different OEM, or some new code base from a few OEMs).
