How to connect Extremenetworks Summitx150 to a 3Com 5500G series

Today I learn a lesson that if you want to connect a Extremenetworks switch(SummitX150) to 3com 5500G series via layer 2 please remove pvid vlan management. Let say if your extremenetworks switch contain 2 vlan example vlan 2 is for pc and vlan 3 is for network management i.e. for remote access via telnet or ssh. What you need to do is to remove the pivd vlan in the interface that directly connect to extremenetworks switch.
