trunk not working

[lformelli]

Hi,

I have an a simple configuration between two switches.

An 2950 with IOS 12.1(20)EA1a connected in trunk to an 2960 with IOS 12.2(25r)SEE1.

I have configured the same vtp domain name, I see from command "sh int status"

that both port link are in trunk but the vlans don't pass from a switch to the other excluded native vlan (1).

What can be ?

best regards

Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo

Is one of the switches a VTP server and one a vtp client. Are you saying that if you add a vlan to one of your switches it doesn't get propogated to the other.

Not clear what you mean about the native vlan.

Could you post output of sh vtp status and elaborate on your problem.

Hi Lorenzo,

Is the trunking set to the same (.1q or isl) on both switches?

Also it would help if you could attatch the configs?

Hi,

You have a VTP password mismatch on 2960 switch.

Check this:

from 2960 :

sw7-bolo#sh vtp counters

VTP statistics:

Summary advertisements received : 4686

Subset advertisements received : 2361

Request advertisements received : 0

Summary advertisements transmitted : 899

Subset advertisements transmitted : 8

Request advertisements transmitted : 2326

Number of config revision errors : 0

Number of config digest errors : 2361 ---> See here

Number of V1 summary errors : 0

Please make sure that you have the same VTP password at both the ends. Change the password and you should be good to go.

hi Lorenzo,

I want to ask you something about 802.1q trunk on cat2960.

It seems me that cat2960 TAGs the NATIVE VLAN (default 1) in trunk links ("Administrative Native VLAN tagging: enabled").

Standard 802.1q does not want native vlan tagging !!!

Switch#sh interfaces f0/1 switchport

This vlan1 tag in 802.1q trunk is a problem when I try using a cisco2610 to do INTERVLAN routing.

The cisco2610 does not tag native vlan, so there is a mismath !

Do you know if is there a way to UNTAG the NATIVE VLAN on cat2960 ?

thanks
