Bad connection between 2nd trunk port on switch

rprudent · ‎05-22-2010

Hi

I have been trying to trunk to 2960 switches and can't seem to get a proper connection. I am using packet tacer. The 1st switch already has a trunk port going to a router and the router has port is trunked and has sub ints for each of vlans 2 and 3 and each sub trunk has respective native encap vlan configured. My management vlan is vlan 3. And I don't have an int vlan1 only int vlan 3. The router and the 1st siwtch work fine. But now I am trying to get another trunk port with second switch. I configured both ints for trunking using native vlan 1. Now the links are in up state but both ends are not leds green, one is orange. And I have only int vlan 3 as with other switch and ip in same subnet as managment ip but cannot ping. Strange thing vtp info can pass but no connection to other switch vlans and router etc, only local connectivity. Plz help, below is the configs of the rotuer and two switches. It is switch 1 that is giving me beans to connect to the rest.

Hi

Use show interface fastethernet 0/18 trunk , show interface fastethernet 0/23 trunk, show interface fastethernet 0/18 trunk and check whether the trunking is on.

if possible post the output here.

VTP info is passing so I know the 2nd trunk between Switch0 and Switch1 is up. But for some reason, I don't know why they cannot ping each other. On both switches they both have SVI's in vlan 3. SVI vlan 1 is up also on bith switches but no ip's assigned. I am using SVI's only on vlan 3. My managment vlan is vlan 3. Objective is to have all my devices be managed by subnet assigned to vlan 3 SVI's. Router int f0/0.3 (vlan3) is 192.168.4.1, Switch 0 int vlan 3 is 192.168.4.10 and Switch 1 int vlan 3 is 192.168.4.20. Only Switch 1 cannot ping the rest of devices. Its port led is green but on the other end on Switch 0 its orange. Appreciate input, I am confused , but maybe somehing i am missing

My problem was stp putting the port in blocking stat to avoid loop. That inturn was breaking the trunk. I created etherchannel between the two switches and this solved things.
