Confirming when 'allow trunk' info will be visible

news2010a

Level 3

Hi, I noticed that on my 2950 switches, sometimes I Configure trunk allowing certain vlans, but then I do show run and the 'switchport trunk allowe vlan x,y' info is not visible.

That should come up once ports are enabled on both sides of the trunk, right? Is that a bug or a by design feature on the IOS? Strange...

Current configuration : 122 bytes

!

interface FastEthernet0/23

description gw1

switchport mode trunk

no keepalive

shutdown

speed 100

duplex full

end

myswitch#config t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

myswitch(config)#int f0/23

myswitch(config-if)#switchport trunk allow vlan add 7

myswitch(config-if)#switchport trunk allow vlan add 4

myswitch(config-if)#shut

myswitch(config-if)#

myswitch#wri mem

Building configuration...

[OK]

myswitch#show run int f0/23

The command you are using is useful when you pruned those Vlans beforehand either with VTP Pruning or with an 'allow except' option.

By default, all Vlans are allowed in a trunk so using the 'add' keyword won't do anything to the config.

If you want to allow just 4 and 7 on the trunk, the command is:

switchport trunk allowed vlan 4,7
