Problem with trunk on 1921

jojon25adm
Level 1
Level 1

Hello!

Im having some issues with a trunk that originates from an WS-C2960G-8TC-L to an CISCO1921/K9. The native VLAN seems to work fine but the other VLANs on the trunk cant be reached. I have created a VLAN interface on the 2960 with an IP address on the subnet of the VLAN. The switch is directly connected to the ISP with an trunk that carries several VLANs and that is working fine. The only issue i have is that i cant reach the switch from the rest of the network. Below you can see all the interfaces on the router and the switch. The switch is connected to GigabitEthernet0/0.

Any help would be useful!

Johan,

The subinterfaces need to be on the physical port connected to the switch. So since the switch is connected to the router's gig 0/0 interface, that's where the subinterfaces need to live. Since the WAN connection is a VLAN on the switch, the physical port is not the "outside" connection, but rather the subinterface is the "outside" connection.

Regards,

Mike

On the trunk port connected to the router (gi0/7) you only have vlan 2001 which I think is your native vlan and vlan 2000. Can you add vlan 2002, 3001 and 4001 and test again.  Or for test purpose, you can delete command

"switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2000,2001" to allow all vlans for now.

What vlan and port is your PC in?

Also, did you create the layer-2 vlans on the switch?

config t

vlan 4001

exit

vlan 3001

exit

etc...

Thanks for the reply!

The rest of the vlans is not suposed to be members of the trunk. Added them tough but it makes no differens. Our workstations is on the 2000 vlan but even when i trying to ping the vlan interface on the switch from the router it doesent respond. I turned on debug on vlan 2001 to see what is happening. There seems to be an encapsulation error.

When i issue the sh int trunk command everything seems allright.

Can you set the speed to 'auto' on the router? Can you post the 'show interface' output for both ports?

Everything seems okey in my opinium. Is there some problems maybe with the MTU?

Looking at your config again, I don't see any sub-interfaces on Gig 0/0. And typically you would also put the native VLAN in a subinterface as well. You are likely getting the "encapsulation failed" error because the router doesn't put the port into dot1q trunk mode until you add a subinterface with dot1q encapsulation. See below:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0

  duplex auto

  speed auto

interface GigabitEthernet0/0.1

  encapsulation dot1q 1 native

  ip ddns update dyndns

  ip address dhcp

  ip nat outside

So i should also have subinterface´s at the "outside" of the router to make this work? All the vlans have interfaces on the gig0/1 interface witch is on the inside. I shall try this and report back to you.

Thanx!

Johan,

The subinterfaces need to be on the physical port connected to the switch. So since the switch is connected to the router's gig 0/0 interface, that's where the subinterfaces need to live. Since the WAN connection is a VLAN on the switch, the physical port is not the "outside" connection, but rather the subinterface is the "outside" connection.

Mike

Thank you Mike! It solved the problem. I thought that the router processed the trafic from the 0/0 to 0/1 interface but now i learned that it didnt. Im not so good in routing but now i know more about subinterfaces and trunking on a router. Its a kind of wierd setup and i suppose its not best practice.

Cheers/ Johan Jongen

NP. Glad you got it working.

Regards,

Mike

I am confused about the topology of this network. In the original post it seems to say that the ISP is also connected through the switch. And clearly that is on interface Gig0/0. The router interface that is configured for trunking is Gig0/1. Also the router interface is configured for several VLANs that appear that they do not exist on the switch. So perhaps the original poster can give us some clarification about what is connected where in this network.

One of the posts in this thread mentions encapsulation failure. This is almost certainly due to the fact that there was an arp request which got no response. It is not likely that it has anything to do with trunk encapsulation.
