Unable to trunk Cisco 2960-X to Sonicwall NSA3600

INERTLOGIC
Level 1
Level 1

Having what is likely a simple issue, but all day overwhelmed by it.  New 2960x switch, configured out of the box using Express setup to an IP address of 192.168.4.16.  Attempting to connect to a LAN interface (XO) on Sonicwall NSA3600.  I can get a dynamic IP when I connect my laptop to this XO port, but as soon as I connect it to my trunked port on the Cisco it goes silent.  Cannot ping either device over the trunk, but if I unplug from the router (and plug into switch) I can reach the interface on the switch.  If I unplug from the switch, and plug in the router I can get to the interface on the router.  In short, the two devices cannot "see" one another.  Problem doesn't exist if I just plug in a non-layer2 switch.  All on single VLAN(1). Help!

---------------------

Attached is the configuration of the trunked port in question on the 2960.  HUGE THANKS GUYS!

hi,

just to cover the basics, is SVI VLAN 1 enabled/no shutdown and has a L2 GW configured?

interface vlan 1

 no shutdown

 

ip default-gateway 192.168.4.x?

Hi

 

Your sonicwall XO interface is a LAN interface right? I'm not very familiar with sonicwall devices.

 

Anyway, why are you trying to configure the switch interface facing the sonicwall as a trunk interface? I believe, based on your input, that this sonicwall interface is not a trunk.

 

If you really want to use vlan 1 (that's not recommended), put the switch interface facing sonicwall as access port in vlan 1, then plug your laptop into another access port in vlan 1 and you should be able to get an IP from your sonicwall dhcp server.

 


Thanks
Francesco
