On the 6248 switch you will need to set up a general mode switchport connection for the uplink to the router. If you have no VLANs set up and are using the default VLAN 1 then that would need to be added to the general mode configuration.

Example:

console# configure

console(config)# interface ethernet 1/g1

console(config-if-1/g1)# switchport mode general

console(config-if-1/g1)#switchport general pvid 1

General Links consist of a combination of VLAN Trunk and Access Links.

General Links can have both tagged and untagged frames, However, all frames sent to a specific VLAN must be tagged. All untagged frames are sent to the native VLAN.

The native VLAN still applies to the General LINK. While it is possible to have multiple untagged VLANs on a General link, you can only have ONE (1) PVID. The PVID represents the native VLAN.

While untagged traffic may be sent via several untagged VLANs, returning untagged traffic will only be received by the PVID and therefore will NOT be forwarded to a specific VLAN.

General links are mostly used today for legacy equipment. However, on the PowerConnect 62xx series switches, you must use General mode if you want to allow management traffic onto the switch over the PVID. If you use Trunk mode, you will not have the default VLAN on those ports. The ports will only allow tagged traffic
