Trunking between 3550 and 2960 switch

M Talha

Level 1

Dear All,

i have problem related to trunking between my distribution switch and access layer switch. i formed a trunk on 

my cisco 3550

interface GigabitEthernet0/5

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

and on my 2960 as

interfaces gigabitEthernet 0/1

switchport mode trunk

 

but still not been able to connect between two switches, the port status for both switches are here

Switch#sh interfaces gigabitEthernet 0/1

GigabitEthernet0/1 is down, line protocol is down (notconnect)

Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 20bb.c0b0.0d19 (bia 20bb.c0b0.0d19)

what could be reason !!!!! does this have any configuration issues. my doubt is still on the physical media between these ?? still searching for answers

If you default both ports, does the link go up?  I am suspecting NO.  

 

The link is fibre optic.  I'm suspecting you've got a Layer 1 issue.
