Solved: VLAN Down

Marvin Rhoads · ‎10-21-2009

I am having trouble bringing up a second VLAN on a Catalyst 3750 running 12.2(25)SEE.

The first VLAN (101) is working fine. The second (102) is Down/down. Here are the config sections that I have scripted:

bbswitch0-live#sh run int Vlan101

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 186 bytes

!

interface Vlan101

ip address 85.205.15.246 255.255.255.252

ip access-group fromvodafone in

ip access-group tovodafone out

no ip redirects

no ip unreachables

no ip proxy-arp

end

bbswitch0-live#sh run int gi0/49

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 240 bytes

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/49

description P2p OneNet - FRA/DUS/LE-069137

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 101,102

switchport mode trunk

switchport nonegotiate

mls qos trust dscp

no cdp enable

end

bbswitch0-live#

bbswitch0-live#sh run int Vlan102

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 185 bytes

no ip proxy-arp

end

bbswitch0-live#sh int vlan101

Any ideas? TIA.

1. Yes vlan 102 is created. See my "sh int Vlan102" output in the original post.

thats the L3 vlan interface not the L2 vlan.

When you do a "sh vlan" do you see vlan 102. If not you need to create it at L2 ie.

3750(config) vlan 102 name

2 things to check

1) have you created vlan 102 at L2 ie.

3750(config)# vlan 102 name

2) Is the trunk link up. I appreciate that vlan 101 is up/up but is there perhaps another active port on the switch in vlan 101 that is bringing that interface up.

Thank you for your suggestions jon.

1. Yes vlan 102 is created. See my "sh int Vlan102" output in the original post.

2. vlan 101 is only defined on a trunk port - no access ports. Here is a snippet of "sh VLAN":

bbswitch0-live#sh vlan

VLAN Name Status Ports

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------

1 default active

101 P2P Link VF One Net active

Neither VLAN 101 or 102 have any access ports - only trunking and only on port gi0/49 (config in the o.p.). They are being used for BGP peering with an external AS.

That was it. So simple.

I'm thinking that stores the VLAN info in vlan.dat which is why I was failing to see the problem by examining the config, correct?

"

No problem, happened to me a couple of times in the past as well :-)

If your switch is in VTP server or VTP client mode then yes you won't see the vlan info in the running config. VTP transparent will have it in the running config.

Hi.

Show vlan brief is a good command to remember if you are unsure whether you've created the L2 VLAN - has helped me a couple of times.
