Cisco 3500XL not taking command #Sho interfaces trunk

[umair640]

Hi,

I'am newbie here, Actually I have 3 switches (2) 3550 and (1) 3500XL 3524. all switches are working fine and have trunk established with each other. but on 3500XL 3524 switch #sho interfaces trunk command not executes. I don't know why.I have configure a trunk on FastEthernet 0/24 port.

Do I need to upgrade the ios?

Hello,

the 3500XL is a very old device with a very old IOS. Try any of the commands below:

show interface type mod/port switchport

show interface [mod] [interface_id] trunk

show int status

[Leo Laohoo]

That will depend on the IOS.
If the switch is loaded with the XU or Interim Software then the commands are basic. If memory serves me correct, the EW-train have a lot of better commands available.

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

in addition to Leo's post, I did some searching, and it appears that you need 12.2(33)SRA to use that command...

[Leo Laohoo]

George,
12.2(33)SRA is not compatible with 3500XL. The "highest" version this model can go is 12.0.

[Georg Pauwen]

Great. I think that platform (3500XL) is EoL/EoS for almost a decade anyway, you cannot download any software (at lease legally) from the Cisco website.

Do any of the other commands work ?

[Leo Laohoo]

Nah.
I'm a bit surprise any of the 2900XL/3500XL have actually survived until now. Their electronics are not meant to survive this long.

I would need to check our current active production inventory, but we might have some still in production. If not, likely they were only retired recently. I.e. their electronics survived for quite some time. Possibly the cliche "they don't make them like that any more". ;)

Still running until now?  Wow.  Just wow.
