Trunking help

Hello everyone,

I have a problem getting a trunk port working between a 3750 stack and a 4507 chassis. The 4507 will form my new core but I am trying to configure it along side before testing and rollout but can't get it talking on my management VLAN. I have a VLAN setup as my management network on the 3750 but cannot get it to ping the new 4507, an excerpt from my config is below

interface Vlan21

description Native

ip address 10.50.0.129 255.255.255.128

end

I have also setup the 4507 with VLAN 21

interface Vlan21

ip address 10.50.0.131 255.255.255.128

no ip route-cache

end

VTP has been set to server on the 3750 and client on the 4507 but I still cannot ping the interfaces from each device

Port Config on the 3750

interface GigabitEthernet2/0/24

description Server Core LINK

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk native vlan 21

switchport mode trunk

end

Port Config on the 4507

interface GigabitEthernet1/48

switchport trunk native vlan 21

switchport mode trunk

end

Any help would be apprecaited

Thanks

Matt

Is the L2 vlan created on both sides ??  Show vlan to verify vlan 21 is operating on both sides, trunk setup looks ok .  Is this a client/server setup or transparent ? If client/server check the vtp domain name. L1 connectivity show as active or connected ?

You can also check cdp for information, and ip route table. Does the rest of vlans pass from the link?
In vtp check domain, version, authentication.
Also issue the switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q on both interfaces. Check interfaces for config with show interface gig1/48 switchport and post results.

Looks like your tagging traffic and only have dot1q on one side of the trunk. As Panos mentioned, please configure on both sides and post results.

Tagging is set up on both sides on the trunk:

Switch#show int gi1/48 switchport
Name: Gi1/48
Switchport: Enabled
Administrative Mode: trunk
Operational Mode: trunk
Administrative Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q
Operational Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q
Negotiation of Trunking: On
Access Mode VLAN: 1 (default)
Trunking Native Mode VLAN: 1 (default)
Administrative Native VLAN tagging: enabled
Voice VLAN: none
Administrative private-vlan host-association: none
Administrative private-vlan mapping: none
Administrative private-vlan trunk native VLAN: none
Administrative private-vlan trunk Native VLAN tagging: enabled
Administrative private-vlan trunk encapsulation: dot1q
Administrative private-vlan trunk normal VLANs: none
Administrative private-vlan trunk associations: none
Administrative private-vlan trunk mappings: none
Operational private-vlan: none
Trunking VLANs Enabled: ALL
Pruning VLANs Enabled: 2-1001
Capture Mode Disabled
Capture VLANs Allowed: ALL

Unknown unicast blocked: disabled
Unknown multicast blocked: disabled
Appliance trust: none

show CDP Neighbours shows nothing

VTP domain and configuration is at same version with the 3750 set as server the the 4507 set as client.

You seem to be lacking on layer 2.

can you please confirm the output of "sho vlans" and "sho int trunk" ?

4507:

Show vlan -

21   Native                           active

Show Int Trunk: -

show int trunk

Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
Gi1/48      on               802.1q         trunking      1

and one more :

4507:

Vlan21                 10.50.0.131     YES NVRAM  up                    up

Hi Matt

I would start again from scratch.

Reset the config on both ports (unplug the cable from one end first)

#default interface GigabitEthernet2/0/24

#default interface GigabitEthernet1/48

This will reset the config on both ports back to default, i.e nothing.

Then do the following:

interface GigabitEthernet2/0/24

description Server Core LINK

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk alllowed vlan 21

interface GigabitEthernet1/48

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan 21

end

You should then be able to access your new core switch from the 3750. Also make sure, Vlan 21 actually exists on the new core switch as a L2 Vlan and the SVI is not shut down.

Hello,

1- try to apply below  simple command to allow vlans to have a traffic thorugh the trunk linmk:

    yourdevice(config-if)#switchport trunk allow vlan X,Y,Z        ..............  apply this command on both trunk interfaces from both devices.

2- for the MLS cisco devices some times you need to apply below command to provide the traffic between different vlans;

  # ip routing

- according to the  show output the native vlan from both ends still vlan 1 and not vlan 21.

regards,

I have allowed specific VLANs on both trunk interfaces and confirmed that ip routing is enabled on both devices.

Still having the same issue

Thanks

Matt

Hi,

correct, you allowed the vlans but still vlan 1 is the native vlan from both devices.

can you check this again plerase?

regards,

Both sides have been set to native VLAN 21 to test. Still the same result

check the native vlan by apllying command show int trunk

and this time try to configure a dynamic routing protocol.

router eigrp 65010
