Hi,

C2821 with a Switchcard - I have got to get VTP flowwing between them - the card is known as GI1/0.

What have I done wrong - I cant seem to use trunk commands on this but reading a cisco tech thing the above should work !?!?

I have added a switch to the integrated switch and these are communicating fine:

Thanks for any help

I do not know the C2812 but it's a router, right?

The purpose or VTP is distributing the VLAN.dat-File among switches which use to have a VLAN-configuration.

What you did with the router is configuring L3-subinterfaces which add a vlan-tag to the transmitted frames in order to communicate to a (switch-)trunkport.

The trunk should work fine but that has nothing to do with VTP.

A 'dir all-filesystems' on both devices should show that the switch has a file named vlan.dat but the router has not.

This is like a regular ios switch . You need to create the vlans. you do not use subinterfaces like on a normal router port. This is on the assumption this is like a 4 or 8 port switchcard . If this is just a router port , this does not apply .

router> vlan database

vlan 2

exit

conf t

vtp domain test

vtp mode transparent

exit

conf t

int vlan 1

ip address ip address 10.1.1.254 255.255.255.0

no shut

int vlan 2

ip address 10.2.1.254 255.255.255.0

no shut

int g1/0

switchport

switchport encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2

Hi,

Both your answers make sense unfortauntly there seems to be some misrepresentation on this series of router.

It a integrated router 2821 and I tried using int vlan 1 and switchport command and it doesnt recongise them.

Everything works apart from the vlan vtp replication, it seems and there fore I cant assign ports further down the chain to a vlan......

Thanks for any pointer

Is it a problem with the fact that the vtp output shows no trunk ports ?? as the clients do ?

Thanks
