can't telnet or ping through 3550 trunk link, but everything else works??

[alonzo-garza]

I have setup a 3550 int gig0/1 as a trunk link , no negotiate, permitting ALL vlan's. I have the native VLAN as vlan1 on both ends of the fiber trunk link. The other end of the link is a 4006 GIG card which also has vlan 1 as it's native vlan, also set to no negotiate for the trunk. I have set the appropriate switchport access on the 3550 and added the ip helper-address to point to the dhcp server that holds it's coorisponding ip pool and that works fine. For some reason I can't ping or telnet to the mngt. IP I put on VLAN1. Does anyone know what's going on here. I'll continue to troubleshoot.

Thanks,

Alonzo

Can you try trunking mode "on" and see if it makes any difference? Also can you paste the relevant config from both the 3550 and 4006? The following page should be helpful as well

Did you put vlan 1 config under the ethernet interface on the router so router can do the routing between vlans?

You know by looking @ this output myself I can see the the prune eligible vlans are only 2-1000 Why is the 4006 showing this?? I think this is the problem???

Looks like you might have a layer 3 problem here. did you configure a gateway on your management interface?

[matthew.scala]

You'll never be able to prune VLAN 1. If you have layer 2 connectivity & you're trunking ok, then you might have the wrong (or no) gateway IP. Just my .02
