Hi Sami,

The reason your trunk port not carrying vlan information of vlan 200 is because native vlans send their frames untagged on trunk links so identification and classification is lost.

Its always good praticse to keep the native vlan the default vlan1.

To allow dot1q to tag native vlans use this command to enable it.

Switch (config)# vlan dot1q tag native

Hope this helps

Thanks,

Raj

Can you post the output of sh VTP status form both switches & output of sh int fa 0/15 switchport

Hi Rajnikant,

Thanks a lot for the information it's really very helpfull.

but would alos like to tell you that the same thnk started working later when i created a vlan 200 in the vlan database any clue how this worked?

I think, you are running VTP transparent mode on your core switch. For vtp transparent mode, you need to create required vlan in access switch first in order to connect to core switch.

Could you also show the configuration of the core swith trunk port.

Outputs from both the core switch and local switch would also be useful.

e.g. show interfaces fastethernet 0/15 trunk
