Unable to establish a trunk between a 4507R and 3560 over Fiber

I need to run trunking btween my core L3 switch (4507R) and a switch at my co-location (3560). When attemping to configure both sides as a trunk, the line never came up on the 3560. The biggest thing that stood out was that I could not set the speed and duplex on the gig port on my 4507R, which caused the other side to see the line as down.

Is it possible to trunk between these two devices or am I out of luck?

Interface hardware is as follows:

Auto/Auto at each link should be the recommended configuration.

Have you tried on the 4507R:

interface gigabitethernet 3/6

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

and on the 3560:

interface gigabitethernet 0/1

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

Can you post the output from 'show vlan' and 'show vtp status' from both switches?

Regards

Edison.

Eric,

On the 4507 it is

Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, link type is auto, media type is 1000BaseLH

and on the 3560

Full-duplex, 100Mb/s, media type is 10/100/1000BaseTX SFP

It appears that you have speed mismatch
