VLAN Troubles

Tue Mar 6 17:04:51 UTC 2012

On the cisco, do a 'show interface trunk'.  Be sure that it thinks it's 
supposed to pass those VLANs.  Make sure "Vlans allowed on trunk" includes 
the VLAN.  Same for "Vlans allowed and active in management domain".  Then 
the important one is "Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not 
pruned".  If it's not there then it's being pruned.  Also on your Dell 
uplink add the following line to the uplink port:

switchport access vlan add 12,22

See what that does for you.
