[nflug] Routers switches and the urge to get very vocal with a Dell tech support rep

[Darin Perusich]

If your switch ports are not tagged properly then traffic will not route 
across VLAN's. Also any downstream switches must also have the VLANS 
configured and uplink ports properly tagged as well. I'd start by 
getting two subnets talking to each other only on this layer3 switch 
before complicating it by adding downstream switches.
