Create trunkports on Catalyst 2960

Ulf Larsson
Level 1
Level 1

Hi.

I'm trying to create trunkports on our Catalyst 2960.

I'm following this guide to configure interface fa0/1



Command

Purpose

Step 1 


configure terminal


Enter global configuration mode.


Step 2 


interface interface-id


Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration mode.


Step 3 


Switchport mode trunk


Configure the interface as a VLAN trunk port.


Step 4 


switchport trunk allowed vlan {add | all | except | remove} vlan-list
In my case, switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1-2


(Optional) Configure the list of VLANs allowed on the trunk.


For explanations about using the add, all, except, and remove keywords, see the command reference for this release.


The vlan-list parameter is either a single  VLAN number from 1 to 4094 or a range of VLANs described by two VLAN  numbers, the lower one first, separated by a hyphen. Do not enter any  spaces between comma-separated VLAN parameters or in hyphen-specified  ranges.


All VLANs are allowed by default.


Step 5 


end


Return to privileged EXEC mode.


Step 6 


show interfaces interface-id switchport


Verify your entries in the Trunking VLANs Enabled field of the display.


Step 7 


copy running-config startup-config


(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

When I run the command show interfaces fa0/1 trunk, I got this result

Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan

Fa0/1       on               802.1q         other         500

Port        Vlans allowed on trunk

Fa0/1       none

Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain

Fa0/1       none

Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned

Fa0/1       none

I'm expecting that my vlans that I have allowed, should be listed like this

show interfaces fa0/24 trunk

Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan

Fa0/24      on               802.1q         trunking      500

Port        Vlans allowed on trunk

Fa0/24      90-95

Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain

Fa0/24      90

Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned

Fa0/24      90

So why doesn't it work on interface 1 (and 2-4) when it working on interface 24?

Hello Henrik,

Can you post output of #sh interface Fa0/1

I can see that trunking state on this interface is other, if interface is down, you will not see allowed vlan in output.

Is VLAN 2 created in the VLAN database?

Have you assigned ports to VLAN 2?

Hi.

Yes, when I run show vlan, I can see vlan 2 (and the others)

Vlan 2 is assigned to port Fa0/18 according to show vlan.

Hello Henrik,

Can you post output of #sh interface Fa0/1
