cant connect two cisco SG350 via access ports

robertkwild · ‎12-27-2018

hi all,

i am really struggling connecting two of my ciscos together via untag/access ports

i have made them both access as its only going to be carrying one vlan down it so no need to make it a trunk

i will show you my "sh run" and "sh ip int" command for both my dante switch and my studio1 switch

dante

interface TengigabitEthernet1/0/1
no spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree link-type point-to-point
switchport access vlan 7
macro description switch
!next command is internal.
macro auto smartport dynamic_type switch
!

dante#show ip int

    IP Address        I/F    I/F Status Type   Directed Prec Redirect Status

192.168.200.254/24 vlan 7    UP/UP      Static disable   No   enable   Valid

studio 1

192.168.200.253/24 vlan 7    UP/DOWN    Static disable   No   enable   Valid

but when i telnet to the switches they cant ping eachother

any help in this as i thought this would be simple but its not

many thanks,

rob

sorted finally...

i disabled spanning tree on both the uplink ports to and from the main switch and the other switch

before that i disabled portfast and bpduguard but still wasnt working

i also made both ports point to point but still no joy

in the end for both switch uplink ports i made them access as this is only carrying one vlan so no need to trunk the ports

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/24
spanning-tree disable
no spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree link-type point-to-point
switchport access vlan 7
macro description switch
!next command is internal.
macro auto smartport dynamic_type switch
!

and now when i telnet onto a switch i can ping the other switch via its vlan ip address
