Hi all, I am gobsmacked:
configured two Catalyst 2960G switches connected via trunk ports. Configured on both of them int vlan1 with IP address from the same subnet 192.168.52.0/24. Configured all other ports on both switches with
sw mo acc
sw acc vlan 1
no shut
When I physically ethernet-connect to switch #1 I can ping and telnet it but not #2. And vice versa when I plug the laptop cable to switch #2 i can perfectly well ping and telnet it but NOT #1. From the IOS console I can sh cdp neighbors, it shows me the other devices properties and port number but even from there the ping does not succeed.
Am I going nuts or what?
Thanks a million!

Can you post the output of -
1) sh int trunk
2) "sh ip int br | include Vlan"
3) also running config of each switch

Hi Jon, community,
to make long story short: it was not a switching problem. E.g. both trunk ports had the vlan 1 as native, both interfaces were up, etc...
What really caused the problem was a remnant from the past, where all the ports of one of the switches were "restricted" to single client with
switchport port-security
The latter was confidgured for the trunk port as well, leading to the default setting of maximum 1. If it wasn't for the Cisco Network Assistant that I fired up and saw over 1000 blocked connections it would have been even longer to define this single line of misconfiguration.
Still thanks a million for the help offered at hard times!
Sincerely
BS
