Solved: Show Interface trunk

fsebera · ‎05-07-2009

With the following config on a Cisco 3845 router, I cannot seem to figure out why I cannot see the trunk details with show interface trunk command.

Ping, traceroute, EIGRP, iBGP peering is operational but no trunk details on the router side.

On Cisco 3845 router, IOS

c3845-advipservicesk9-mz.124-11.XJ4.bin

show interface trunk - no output

On peering Cisco 3750e switch

C3750e#sh int trunk

Hello Franck,

just a moment you have routed subinterfaces on the C3845 not a L2 trunk!

for seeing packets for vlans and the associated subintefaces use

sh vlan

or

sh vlans

(this is IOS dependent in 12.4 should be sh vlans)

this can tell you how much traffic is sent and received on each vlan and the corresponding subinterfaces

traffic is divided for L3 protocol (ipv4, ipx , ipv6)

Hope to help

Giuseppe

I searched for this command on my 2821. It is in the IOS but gives no information.

I looked through the master command index for 12.4 and 12.4T. The command is NOT shown in either of those.

The IOS command lookup tool was able to find it.

It looks like it is only supported on the 6500 series chassis. It was introduced for the Supervisor 2 and then added for the SUP720.

Link to the tool:

http://tools.cisco.com/Support/CLILookup/cltSearchAction.do?Application_ID=CLT&IndexId=IOS&IndexOptionId=123&SearchPhrase="*"&Paging=25&ActionType=getCommandList&Bookmark=True

Release Modification

12.2(14)SX

Support for this command was introduced on the Supervisor Engine 720.

12.2(17d)SXB

Support for this command on the Supervisor Engine 2 was extended to Release 12.2(17d)SXB.

12.2(33)SRA

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

12.2(33)SXI

This command was changed to add the optional vlan vlan keyword and argument.

Hi Bret,

I used this setup on my 7206VXR running IOS 12.4T last year and all was good then.

Perhaps the Cisco 3845 programmers were under time constraints and just missed this one.

I guess as long as it works and passes traffic I should be happy!!!

Thanks again

No problem. A little fancy googling showed that it would work in a 7600 series router. It might be haphazardly implemented on the routing platforms.

Giuseppe Larosa · ‎05-07-2009

Hello Frank,

sh int trunk is very handy and I use it on C6500 and C4500 it comes from the old sh trunk in CatOS.

However, not all IOS based switches support it.

the less readable alternate way in those switches is to use

sh int type x/y switchport

I would try if it works for your C3845.

Hope to help

Thanks, it's a no go.

Switchport option not available but tried it anyway :).

I list the output from two different subinterfaces and both provide the same details -

Perhaps the description line should read -- SEE VISIO DOCUMENTATION!!!!

Thanks again

Duh, I am so ruined.

YOU ARE CORRECT.

Turns out, trunking is not a valid verb.

My sub-interfaces are not allowed to be layer-2 interfaces - only layer-3.

I guess the 3750e switch "TRUNKING" mislead me into thinking I was creating layer-2 interfaces and the subs were the layer-3 portion. It appears I need a switchport module to make use of the vlans on the 3845 router....

Thanks

The only way "sh int trunk" would work in a 3845 is if it had hwic switchcard in one of the slots and you set up trunking on one of those ports , as previously stated it won't work on a routed port with subinterfaces.

bakers1991 · ‎09-11-2017

Yours cleared it up the best. Makes sense the command is available in the IoS to support switching module cards. I couldn't for the life of me understand why they would leave it in if it was useless. Although it would also make sense that when configuring router-on-a-stick that the command would work to list the encaps on the sub-interfaces. Would be a much quicker and more efficient way to check trunk set-up. But at least now I know why it never works on a router, and only on a switch.
