I have a various BladeCenter's that have Nortel ESMs installed.These ESms are linked across to 2 Cisco 6xxx Switches. One of the bladecenter's can communicate fine using trunking and the EXTERNAL esm ports being PVID 1 and VLAN 1 being set to Egress and no tagging across all ports (Internal and External) in the edit 802.1Q section. The Cisco switch has all the correct VLANs showing as going across the trunk (VLAN1, 2-1005 +)on the correct port 3/3-4.
However, the second BladeCenter that I have set to be exactly the same cannot communicate at all.The PVIDs are set to 1. Only VLAN 1 being setup and no tagging enabled (Both BladeCenters set up the same). The only difference that I can see is that the Cisco switch attached to the ESM on this bladecenter only has VLAN 908 and VLAN 910 (the only VLANs we want to let through) but NO VLAN1 on port 7/48.
Is the fact that VLAN is not assigned to the port 7/48 on the Cisco switch where the problem is?
If so, then I have a bigger issue. I cannot make VLAN1 a member of a trunk without including all and then removing the other VLANs. This will affect STP badly. The only other thing I can do is to unplug the BladeCenter to remove the trunk and add VLAN1 and reconnect.
