NATIVE_VLAN_MISMATCH on a non-trunk port

ido.edo10 · ‎03-16-2009

Hello,

I have a Cisco 851w that connects to a Catalyst 2950, the Catalyst have a few vlans and a FW that is being the "Router on a stick", the 851w should only be used in VLAN20.

It connects to Fa0/23 on the catalyst which is configured as follows:

interface FastEthernet0/23

description Line to xxx Fa0

switchport access vlan 20

switchport mode access

switchport port-security

switchport port-security violation restrict

switchport port-security mac-address sticky

switchport port-security mac-address sticky aaaa.bbbb.cccc

load-interval 30

speed 100

duplex full

spanning-tree portfast

Even though, I got errors in the log:

%CDP-4-NATIVE_VLAN_MISMATCH: Native VLAN mismatch discovered on FastEthernet0/23 (20), with xxxxx FastEthernet0 (1). (Same errors appear on the 851 log with different direction)

The 851 doesn't really support VLANs, it does have a vlan database but only "supports" VLAN1, although that doesn't really suppose to matter as I don't try to negotiate a trunk between the devices, and even if I was trying, the native vlan for that interface would be VLAN1 as seen in the following output:

sh int fastEthernet 0/23 switchport

Name: Fa0/23

Switchport: Enabled

Administrative Mode: static access

Operational Mode: static access

Administrative Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q

Operational Trunking Encapsulation: native

Administrative private-vlan host-association: none

Administrative private-vlan mapping: none

Administrative private-vlan trunk native VLAN: none

Administrative private-vlan trunk encapsulation: dot1q

Administrative private-vlan trunk normal VLANs: none

Administrative private-vlan trunk private VLANs: none

Trunking VLANs Enabled: ALL

Pruning VLANs Enabled: 2-1001

Capture Mode Disabled

Capture VLANs Allowed: ALL

Protected: false

Unknown unicast blocked: disabled

Unknown multicast blocked: disabled

Appliance trust: none

Any one has an idea how to "fix" that problem? the error shouldn't appear in the logs

Thanks,

Ido.

Do you really need the following command on fa0/23 ?

switchport access vlan 20

ido.edo10 · ‎03-16-2009

Yes, I do, the port should be in Vlan20.

John Blakley · ‎03-16-2009

Can you post the config for the interface of your router that connects to fa0/23?

HTH, John *** Please rate all useful posts ***

ido.edo10 · ‎03-16-2009

Sure, although nothing special there...

interface FastEthernet0

description To yyyy Fa0/23

duplex full

speed 100

spanning-tree portfast

end

I supposed that spanning-tree portfast isn't really needed at the router, however it stays the same even if I remove it.

John Blakley · ‎03-16-2009

Okay,

Under interface F0, see if you have the encapsulate option:

int fa0

encapsulate dot1q 20 native

Take spanning-tree portfast out.

You won't have it because it's only for subinterfaces.

Try this instead:

int fa0

no ip address

int fa0.20

encapsulate dot1q 20 native

Put your ip address under fa0.20 subinterface, and it *should* work.

There is no IP on that interface,

it looks like cisco didn't really know what to do with those interfaces on the 851, they aren't layer-2 capable and neither layer-3 capable,

xxxx(config-if)#ip address 1.1.1.1 255.0.0.0

% IP addresses may not be configured on L2 links.

xxxxx(config-if)#switch?

% Unrecognized command

also no sub interfaces on this one:

xxxxx(config)#int fa0.20

^

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

The IP address is configured on BVI1 which is a bridge between VLAN1 & Dot11Radio0.

I attached those interfaces config as well:

interface BVI1

ip address 172.10.1.253 255.255.255.0

ip virtual-reassembly max-reassemblies 64

ip tcp adjust-mss 1435

end

interface Vlan1

no ip address

no ip virtual-reassembly

bridge-group 1

bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled

end

(Tried removing the bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled as well, didn't help)

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Ido.

On the 851, can you delete vlan 1, and create a vlan 20 in its place?

HTH, John *** Please rate all useful posts ***

ido.edo10 · ‎03-16-2009

I can delete interface vlan 1,

but can't delete the vlan itself.

Tried to do that with int vlan1, I configured int vlan20 instead after putting int vlan20 in the bridge-group instead of vlan1 the router lost connectivity through its LAN interfaces.

It's like the Fa0-3 acts like a "stupid" switch, however they are still aware of vlans (I can execute show interfaces switchport, but can't configure them to do anything...) the problem is why they care about native vlan when both sides are configured as access ports.

And even if they were trunk ports, both sides when the show int switchport command issued shows that the native vlan is vlan1.

I have on the Catalyst another port (Gi0/2) that is a trunk and have native vlan 20, but I don't see how it should be related, I did attach it's configuration maybe you will see something I didn't:

interface GigabitEthernet0/2

description Lint to zzzzz

switchport trunk native vlan 20

switchport mode trunk

load-interval 30

ip dhcp snooping trust

end

John Blakley · ‎03-16-2009

You would delete the vlan from:

router# vlan database

That's where you would create your vlan 20 also.

ido.edo10 · ‎03-16-2009

Can't do that, not in vlan db mode and not from global config:

xxxxxx(vlan)#vlan 20

Vlan can not be added. Maximum number of 1 vlan(s) in the database.

xxxxx(vlan)#no vlan 1

A default VLAN may not be deleted.

Leo Laohoo · ‎03-16-2009

You're correct. The c850 ISR will not support multiple VLANs nor will it allow Trunking.

On the switch, have you tried making your native VLAN as VLAN 1?

ido.edo10 · ‎03-16-2009

What do you mean "on the switch"?

On the port, although set to access mode, by default the native vlan is 1.

How can you set a native vlan "on the switch"?
