I have two 2950 switches. I am trying to set up a trunk over fa0/1 on both switches. There are no lights on the ports when I connect a cross-over cable. Any suggestions would help. I used the following commands on my first switch (Texas):
en
config t
int fa0/1
switchport mode trunk
speed 100
duplex full
-------------
switch two (Arkansas)
en
config t
int fa0/1
switchport mode dynamic
speed 100
duplex full
----------
Texas#show int fa0/1 switchport
Name: Fa0/1
Switchport: Enabled
Administrative Mode: trunk
Operational Mode: down
Administrative Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q
Negotiation of Trunking: On
Access Mode VLAN: 1 (default)
Trunking Native Mode VLAN: 1 (default)
Trunking VLANs Enabled: ALL
Pruning VLANs Enabled: 2-1001

Voice VLAN: none (Inactive)
