2 4948's, 2 Routed Links and 1 Trunk

mrashby

All,

I have two (2) catalyst 4948's that I am trying to get to talk to each via a trunk and I also have 1 routed interface on each switch. I have one routed interface per switch and between them I have a L2 trunk. What I want is if a PC is connected to switch 1 and has to go to switch 2 I don't want it to take the routed interface out on switch 1 and come back in on switch 2. I want local traffic to flow between the switches via the trunk. The only problem is, it isn't working. I have routes on both switches but I can't talk between the switches over the trunk. Can someone shed some light on this. Thanks.

If your using VTP, use vtp version 2.

Do this on both switches. This will set them as both servers.

# vtp mode server

# vtp version 2

# vtp domain xxx

# vtp password mypassword

# vtp pruning

"show vlan brief" should show vlan 41 on both switches.

Can you post configs?

Keep in mind a trunk carries vlans, which are layer 2.

okay notice below the configs on sw2 and sw1. There is a routed interface on each switch and the other remaining interfaces are layer 2 trunks. I want local traffic to run between the trunks and traffic destined for the outside to just go out the routed interface. Is this possible the way I have it set up? Or should I just put both routed interfaces on one switch and keep the trunk?

Your trunk on switch2 is not configured.

on sw2 add this.

interface TenGigabitEthernet1/49

description Trunk to switch1

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 41

switchport mode trunk

This way if PC1 sitting on sw1 port g1/1 wants to send traffic to PC2 sitting on sw2 port g1/1, it will use the trunk. PC1 will arp for PC2 mac address since it will be on the same subnet and the switch will feed it over the trunk.

Okay, thanks I got my trunks set. Now I need my vlans set I am running VTP v1 but still am not seeing vlan 41 on both switches. Can you shed some light on this?

If your using VTP, use vtp version 2.

Do this on both switches. This will set them as both servers.

# vtp mode server

# vtp version 2

# vtp domain xxx

# vtp password mypassword

# vtp pruning
