VLAN question

skhirbash
Level 1
Level 1

Hi all,

I am really puzzled by this problem. I have 2 switches, the first one is a C3500/24 and the second one is a C3560/48. I trunked ports 24 of the C3500 switch with port 48 of the C3560 switch. I created 4 VLANs on the C3560 switch, domain name, and gave it a server role. I created the same domain name on the C3500 switch and gave it a client role. Here is additional info:

- SW1 VLAN1: 10.10.3.2

VLAN2: Eng, VLAN3: IT, VLAN4: HR, VLAN5: Finance

VTP Domain: ABC

VTP Role: Server

Default gateway: 10.10.3.1

- SW2 VLAN1: 10.10.3.3

VTP Domain: ABC

VTP Role: Server

Default gateway: 10.10.3.1

The problem is that the second switch (the client) isn't updating the VTP database with the VLAN information.

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance,

sK

I've seen that happening before when you create all Vlans in the VTP server switch and then change to the server/client model.

Create another Vlan in the VTP server (a Vlan that you will delete later) to kickstart the process.

Your configuration looks fine, BTW.

Edit: Verify there isn't a password set. show vtp password on both switches will indicate if there is any.

Another question .... on the C3560, I am unable to disable the trunking on a port. I tried all relevent commands such as: no switchport mode trunk, no switchport trunk encap, and no switchport dynamic but the port is set to Auto mode and trunking...

How do you disable trunking on a port?

switchport mode access
