Well, trunking is up and forwarding the Vlans.

You mentioned you are unable to ping from switch to switch, can you post the output from typing

show vtp status, show vlan and show ip interface | ex una from both switches.

__

Edison.

Output in attched file.

Couple of comments from the output you posted:

1) VTP

Switch 1 Configuration Revision : 13

Switch 2 Configuration Revision : 0

The VTP mode on switch 1 VTP Operating Mode : Server

The VTP mode on switch 2 VTP Operating Mode : Client

Both switches have the same VTP domain name SKTECH.

Question, did you create the Vlans manually on switch 2 and then changed the VTP mode to client ? If the client switch inherited all Vlans from the server switch, the configuration revision will be the same.

Change the domain name in the client switch to something else, change it back to SKTECH and bounce the trunk interfaces with shut and no shut.

2. I ask for the show ip interface | ex una output, it should display only interfaces with IP on it. You mentioned you can't ping from switch to switch, right ? Then the switches must have IP on them. Unless you referred to pinging from workstations connected on Switch1 to workstations connected on Switch2. Which is it?

The answer to your first qustion is yes. Sac-SW2 was connected to a different VTP domain and then I connected it to NY-SW1 and trunked the porst, set the mode to client. As for your other questions, the attached file has all the output you asked for.

Thanks much!

Ed.. Thganks for all help. As it turns out that the GLC-T on Sw2 was bad. Once I replaced it with a new one, everything worked as they should..

Thanks again,
