Thanks for sharing the link, but question asked in that link is still unanswered, no solution has been determined yet.

Could you expand on "doesnt works" in your OP?
And, as Jose already asked, could your provide configs and what ports you're actually interconnecting?

One port is of Gig, while other port is of Fa

Copper?

not copper, its ethernet cable

Ethernet can run across both copper or fiber - so what "kind" of Ethernet?

Fiber

If you are running fiber, what are the SFPs you are using please do a "show inventory" Usually fiber SFPs are either 100Mps or 1Gbps, if only going to a 100Mbps device then ensure the SFP in the Gigabit port will run at 100Mbps

Hi Jahanzeb,
- Did you set a native vlan?
// switchport trunk native vlan <Vlan-id>
Example:
interface GigabitEthernet<int>
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan <Vlan-id>
no sh
Regards.

Nopes i didnt, is that really matter to set the native vlan ?
01-26-2016 09:54 PM
The native VLAN will default to 1. You don't need to configure it on either end, but if you configure it on one end you need to configure it on both ends.

Can you post the 2 config?
01-25-2016 11:54 PM
On first Switch,
interface GigabitEthernet<int>
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan <Vlan-id>
On other Switch,
interface Fa<int>
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan <Vlan-id>
These are the simple config on both switches
