LAN trunk issue

weichenb2 · ‎05-08-2013

I have two 2950 LAN switches (dinosaurs) that am trying to connect via a trunk (Fa0/24 to Fa0/24). The configuration on both sides is as follows.

interface FastEthernet0/24

description Trunk to Madison-Ultra-2950-3, Fa0/24

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,128,1002-1005

switchport mode trunk

&

interface FastEthernet0/24

description Trunk to Madison-Ultra-2950-4, Fa0/24

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,128,1002-1005

switchport mode trunk

The interfaces on both sides come up/up but I never see the trunk come up and CDP info is nver share (even though configured globally and on interfaces). Also, I am unable to ping the GW (10.15.28.1) from switch 4. Finally, the interface Fa0/24 on switch 4 is taking excessive errors, even when I move the tunk to another port on switch 4 and replace cables. So, the errors cannot be attributed to the cable or the port. The errors seem to follow the link to the other switch.

Hi,

Can you post the config from both switches please?

What happens if you remove the trunking configuration from both ports - do they see each other via CDP and do the errors stop?

I hadn't thought about the cross-over cable. I will try one.

Since this is an older switch, have you verified that you are using a crossover cable and not a regular cable? I believe the older switches do not support the auto-sensing feature.

Otherwise, perhaps you could provide some output from the following commands:

sh run int fa 0/24 (on both switches)

sh int status | i 0/24

sh int fa 0/24 switchport (on both switches)

Please post the commands:

sh int fa 0/24 switchport (for both switches)

This command will show us the encapsulation and/or if there is a trunk negotiation occurring.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see you posted the trunk command alternative and I see you are using dot1q and the status is in "trunking mode". Please let us know if your cable is correct.

glen.grant · ‎05-08-2013

Are you sure you are connecting to the correct ports or are your descriptions just incorrect? Switch 4 says it goes to G0/2 not 0/24 . Also I don't understand why you can't do a show int trunk or show interface status , are you sure they are both 2950's . Please post a show version from both switches. Set both connecting ports to switchport mode access , this will make both an access port in vlan 1 and you should see cdp after this. Once your ports are verified then you can put your trunk parameters back in and see what happens. Also make sure all your layer 2 vlans are created on both switches, verify with a show vlan . I believe the gig ports on these is gig only so you cannot connect the gig ports to a fast ether port and have it work.
