Dear Everyone,
Good day
Seeking advice on this scenario in a client environment. We are trying to establish gateway reachability from PC2 connected in Cisco 9300 but not able yield positive result. Trunks are configured on Port-channel where physical interfaces are member of. Access port is also configured for each corresponding port.
Core Switch - Gateway for VLAN 1-5 and 6-10, located in Datacenter1
Dell S5232F-ON - 10G/100G links, connected with trunk (Port-channel), located in Datacenter 2,
Dell S5248F-ON - 1G/10G links, connected with trunk (Port-channel), located in Datacenter2
Cisco 9300 - 1G/10G links, connected with trunk (Port-channel), located in Datacenter2

Dear Everyone,
Thank you for your insights and help. I got back to the remote data center few days back and was able to establish trunk.
On Cisco 9300, port is configured as regular trunk port, port-channel is removed
On Dell S5248-ON, port is configured as regular trunk port, port channel is also removed.
Please see updated configuration below
