Issues Connecting Dell Powerconnect 8024 with PowerSwitch N2048

Hey,

I am currently working with two switches. The first is a Dell Powerconnect 8024, and the second is Dell PowerSwitch N2048. I am trying to get these switches to communicate ideally within the same subnet and vlan. I have tried the default vlan1 on both with access/trunk/general ports connecting the two and have not been able to get them to see each other. I've also tried moving both switches to vlan 10 again I cannot get them to see each other. Both switches are working with all the devices plugged into them I just cannot get the two switches to see each other when they are directly plugged into each other.

Current setup:

N2048: all ports on VLAN10 (192.168.2.3 /16), sfp+ 10GB port 2 is trunk mode tagged and uplink to 8024

8024:  all ports on VLAN10 (192.168.2.2 /16), sfp+ port 24 is trunk mode tagged and uplink to N2048

Switches are not sending traffic to each other.  Connecting via regular access ports also no traffic between them.

Add Bell GigaHub ONT, with 8024 and N2048 connected to it from a regular access port on each switch, and switches can send traffic to each other.  

*Note I've tried both tagged and untagged trunks, I have also tried tagged and untagged general ports none of these combinations will allow the two switches to send traffic to one another. The only way I've gotten them to see each other is through the Bell.*

Any help is really appreciated.
