Thanks for the fast reply everyone, in answer to your questions the vlans are on seperate switch`s but on the same vlan`s, i have enabled IP routing on the 1801

as to configs what do you want as in sh ru, sh vlan, anything else?

many thanks

Hello Billy,

from sh run it is fine

also it is important to specify how you test your setup:

do you put a PC on vlan X on the switch on a port configured to be access port in vlan X and you try to ping default gateway for vlan X on C1801 ?

Hope to help

Giuseppe

This is sh ru from the 1801, i have x.x.x.x out the ip`s

Hi, what are you trying to achieve and how are you trying to achieve it?

As Giuseppe pointed out, you should tell us what your test set up is in detail.

Whats with the NAT statements?

Can you also post the output of a "sh int trunk" on both switches?

Thanks

the "sh int trunk" only works on the 1801

1801

interface FastEthernet6

switchport access vlan 2

switchport mode trunk

end

1802#sh int trunk

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan

Fa6 on 802.1q trunking 1

Port Vlans allowed on trunk

Fa6 1-1005

Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain

Fa6 1-3,9

Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned

Fa6 1

The 3524-xl i have managed to get this

SW 2#sh run int f0/1

Building configuration...

Current configuration:

!

interface FastEthernet0/1

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

end

i have made a drawing of my network and added a few comments on what i'm trying to do

Hello Billy,

almost all ports of 3524 are in vlan1 the default.

The only port in vlan2 is f0/24

To verify the trunk on c3524 use

sh int f0/1 switchport

verify also the list of vlans with

sh vlan

My guess is that you have connected a pc to a switch port you have assigned an ip address to it and you have tried to verify ip connectivity.

But if you use an ip address out of context (an ip subnet associated to a different vlan) the pc cannot reach any device.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hi billybong,

Why the interface FastEthernet6 is configured as a trunk and access mode on 1801?

i think i left that statment in by accident i have removed it now, i was just trying something
