Hi Mike,
thanks for your input!

Eric, pick a free port on the switch and configure it

at the other end of the trunk. Then connect the two ports (yes, on the same
switch) and see what happens. You should see the trunk come up and then one
end of the trunk for each VLAN should go into blocking mode (spanning tree).
I don't see any need to do this with a PC, unless you are planning on
connecting the trunk to a PC/Server.
Hey, good trick that one, I wish I'd thought of it myself :-)
I'll still have to figure out "vlan database" stuff on that thing
I guess before things will run as expected...
Greets & thanks, Eric (rtfm'ing)
