Hello Shane,

some low end switches support only ISL and others support only 802.1Q. Try to use ISL on both ends of the links.

For this reason some switches don't even accept the command switchport trunk encapsulation with any parameter because there is no choice

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hi,

are you using these commands?

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

2900xl does not have 12.3 version.

It will only support dot1q. Therefore there is no need to specify your encapsulation.
