i have a number of powerconnect 3348, 3448 and 3548.. these are used as our user switches and the switches for a POE phone system. We are making some changes on our cisco core switches and will be turning on trunking.
In doing this I believe we will have to turn on vlan tagging on these switches. It's been forever since we made changes on these switches and i'm wondering how they will hold up with the cisco back end once we turn on vlan tagging.
The current config is similar to this:
console# sh run
interface range ethernet e(1-48)
spanning-tree portfast
exit
interface vlan 1
ip address 172.20.3.4 255.255.255.0
exit
ip default-gateway 172.20.3.1
username admin password 083f8ffef85748257acc19f9f09df137 level 15 encrypted

Can anyone tell me the easiest way to setup vlan tagging on these? do i turn it on every port or just the uplink port?
