Vlan not showing in spanning tree

[tonyplueard]

I have a Catalyst 1000. I had to replace an existing switch with this one. We are running VTP. My problem is that I have a vlan not showing up in spanning tree. 

show vlan brief

203 VLAN0203 active Gi1/0/1, Gi1/0/7, Gi1/0/8, Gi1/0/9

Trunk port

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,95,108,163,203
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate

Any help would be appreciated on figuring out why the vlan isn't showing up.

add missing vlan into vlan database with vlan x under config term (global config mode)

Vlan isn't missing as shown with the show vlan brief command. Also can't add a vlan to a switch that is running VTP in client mode

[Martin L]

VLAN0203 ?  is that "missing" vlan on other switch?  other end of trunk ?  For STP to be enabled and shown on vlan x , you must have 2 switches running that vlan and that vlan must be in vlan database on both switches and allowed over the trunk link.

Yes that vlan exists on both switches. 

Other switch

as you can see the vlan is there and it is in the spanning-tree on the other switch.

Also here is the trunk on the other switch as well.

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,95,108,163,203
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate

Hello
Fyi - there will be no stp for a vlan unless the vlan is in a active state, be on an active access-port or within an active trunk.

Hi

As the vlan is active but no spanning-tree on it, there may be a configuration like "no spanning-tree 203" or similar.

Try to enable with "spanning-tree vlan 203" the syntax may be different.

Verify if the VLAN has an active interface in it.

I found the issue.  There was a vlan that was on one switch but missing on the other, causing a parameter inconsistency.  I had actually found that and fixed it, and bounced the ports, before posting.  But apparently another full reboot was needed to force it to discover that the parameters had been fixed.
