Hi,

I've sent an email to my Dell Networking Sales Specialist and he transferred my questions to his Networking Sales Engineer
I think I will have an answer today or tomorrow.

Cordialement,

We also use Dell N2000-series switches to some extent, and cannot configure them through NAV at the time either (we’re primarily using Cisco, so it’s not been a huge issue so far).
A configuration done manually (pretty much identical to Cisco):

description "M-CB0271A12"
spanning-tree portfast
switchport access vlan 30
green-mode energy-detect
green-mode eee

and after changing the vlan from 30 to 206 through NAV:

description "M-CB0271A12"
spanning-tree portfast
switchport general pvid 206
switchport access vlan 30
green-mode energy-detect
green-mode eee

Reverting to vlan 30 again does not remove the added configuration for 206.

I’ve included mibs for the latest release for the N2000-series. Hope that there’s an easy solution (

    We are unfamiliar with Dell switches - PortAdmin has been used
    extensively with Cisco and HP but I don't know about Dell.
    
    However, we use standard MIBs for all equipment except Cisco.
    
    So, what PortAdmin does when changing vlan is to alter the
    dot1qPvid-value which is located in the Q-BRIDGE-MIB.
    
    http://www.mibdepot.com/cgi-bin/getmib3.cgi?win=mib_a&r=alcatel&f=IETF_Q_BRIDGE.mib&v=v2&t=tree
    
    It seems Dell has another way of doing it that does not conform exactly
    to the Q-BRIDGE-MIB. If you have the MIB for the switch, then we could
    take a look at it and see if there is anything we can do.
