Proper Port Settings

Once again excuse my ignorance. I'm trying to utilize equipment i have for backup storage and need a little assistance again.  i have a 3560-X that i am connecting to and i have a small 2960-CG series switch that i want to use for my backup storage switch.  There are only a couple VLANs  that need to be on this switch.  I have it connected to the 3560 but need to know if those port settings need tweaked as well.  

I need VLAN 70  -  management, VLAN 74 SAN, VLAN 75 NFS to access this switch.

Below are the current port settings of what i have setup now.  If anyone could assist with the correct settings that would be great.  Currently i have Port 22 of the 3560 connected to port 10 of the 2960.  Wanted ports 3 and 4 (2960) to access the storage directly.  Any helpo  is appreciated.  I am connected via SSH now but need to finish setting this up.  thanks again for a great forum.  

3560-X pert setting

interface GigabitEthernet0/22
description "CISCO SAN UPLINK"
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 70
switchport mode trunk
spanning-tree portfast

interface Vlan70
ip address 10.0.70.19 255.255.255.0

2960-CG port settings

interface GigabitEthernet0/10
switchport trunk native vlan 70
switchport mode trunk

interface GigabitEthernet0/3
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,70,71,74,75
switchport mode trunk
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/4
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,70,71,74,75
switchport mode trunk
!

Hi,

The configuration looks correct. Are you having any issue?

Where is the SVI for all the other vlans (10,71,74,75)?

HTH

Yes.  i am unable to access my management (vlan 70) on port 9. Unable to ping my SAN that is connected to ports 3 and 4. 

Port 9 setting

interface GigabitEthernet0/9
switchport trunk native vlan 70
switchport mode trunk

What device is connected to port 0/9 and what is its IP address?

it would be the management port of the storage.  10.0.70.90

Do you see the MAC address of the storage device on the switch?

Also, is the SVI for vlan 70 in up and up mode

"sh ip int bri vlan70"

Also, can you add "switchport trunk native vlan 70" to ports 0/3 and 0/4?

Reza,

Have anotehr question related to this. i had an issue where a lot of my VM's went offline when i connected to this switch.  If i have spanning tree portfast on Port 22 of 3560 (which is connected to the 2960) but none of the ports on the 2960 have spanning tree portfast could this still cause a loop situation?? 

Port 22 is a trunk port and so it should not have portfast configured.  Portfast should be configured on access ports.

HTH

Can I ask what the SVI is?
