Hello,
I've read through the user guide, "Networking Best Practices - Connecting Two Switches", and "PowerConnect Common Questions Between Access, General and Trunk mode" but I'm still unsure about the difference between 'General' and 'Trunk'.
As far as i can tell they will both do the following:
1. Allow multiple Tagged vlans
2. Allow an untagged or PVID vlan
3. Can be used as trunked ports for passing VLANs through to other switches.
Is there a general purpose for using one of the other in certain circumstances?
Regards.
