Operational Trunk Connection Issue

I have two switches that are connected. Both switches are unable to ping. Which command in the configs is causing the problem?

Hello,

 

the line:

 

switchport trunk native vlan 50

 

is causing the problem. The native Vlan needs to match on both ends of the trunk...

Is this using real switches because I have just tested with 3750s and a trunk link comes up fine. 

 

The native vlan should match on both ends but it wouldn't stop a trunk forming if they didn't, you would just have joined two vlans together which is not what you want to do. 

 

By the way I am assuming this is one of those Cisco test questions as you would never use that sort of configuration on a production network.
