dot1q encapsulation option not showing up under the Interface 4507R chassi Sup 7!?

m-abooali · ‎06-10-2012

Hi,

I am trying to configure a 4507 R chassis with Dual SUP but i cannot see teh switchpot mode trunk encapsulation dot1q?

I have typed:

interface GigabitEthernet5/1

description DOWNLINK toxxxxxx

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 11 mode on

!

I have have searched all other commands and sub-commands but could only find dot1q-tunnel which I beleive is for QINQ or some QoS featues and lot for L2 encapsulations?

the puzzling is:

XXX-Core4507#sh int gi5/1 trunk

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan

Gi5/1 off 802.1q notrnk-bndl 1

(Po11)

Port Vlans allowed on trunk

Gi5/1 1

Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain

Gi5/1 1

Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned

Gi5/1 1

but:

sh int gi5/1

shows encapsulation ARPA.

when I connect the dostribution switch a 3507 to this int gi 5/1, both interfaces do come up?

and assitance would be greatly appreciated.

the IOS is the universal package.

Please advise,

Masood

The supervisor card isn't the only factor if the commend "switchport encap dot1q" is supported or not. The ethernet line card is another factor. Issue the command "sh interface 5/1 switchport" or "sh interface 5/12 capa" to see.

Can you post the config of your etherchannel interface?

m-abooali · ‎06-10-2012

Hi,

config is attached. please note that I have just started configuring this switch and all I havedone is the L2 information like vlans, Port-channel. etc.

I am not on teh device now nor I have access to it until tomorrow but you may be able to tell based on the config attached. I have no time befor ethe installation time and I HAVE NOT ORDERED TEH LINE CARDS, ETHERNET CARDS, ETC. I don;t know who has placed the order but i can findout. I ony need to know if any of the cards don;t support the dot1q encap so we can have it replaced within 24 ours but we must be certain.

I thank you in advance.

hoe can i attach a file here?

Regards,

Masood

Your output to the command "sh interface trunk" proves the line card in slot 5 will support only 802.1Q trunking hence the command "switchport trunk encap dot1q" is not needed/required.

m-abooali · ‎06-10-2012

thanks. Now, what is the solution to my problem?

I need to configure these interfaces, uplinks to closets connecting to stacks of 3750s with:

interface GigabitEthernet 5/1

description DOWNLINK to XXXXX-LS

switchport

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

channel-group 11 mode on

!

the command i cannot execute is:

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

what is the solution? and why it is not allowed? because of wrong hardware? wrong IOS?

please advise.

Regards,

Masood

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

There is nothing wrong. It's normal. The line card in slot 5 will only support 802.1q so this command is NOT NEEDED.

m-abooali · ‎06-10-2012

even though the output for :

sh int gi5/1

shows ARPA ac encapsulation?

even with this its ok and nothing is wrong and i do not need that command?

why is it supported under 6509E and not 4507R?

Thanks,

Masood

glen.grant · ‎06-10-2012

Because is slowly sunsetting the cisco proprietary format ISL encapsulation which leaves the IEEE dot1q standard . So there is only 1 encap method now . Some Cisco earlier small switches like the 2950 were the same way. Why cisco isn't consistent with it's implementation is anybodys guess and you would have to ask cisco.

Leo Laohoo · ‎06-10-2012

why is it supported under 6509E and not 4507R?

Again, let me repeat by saying it's got nothing to do with the IOS. It's all in the ethernet line cards. Some ethernet line cards support either 802.1Q and Cisco-proprietary ISL. Some line cards simply support 802.1Q.

Hardik Vaidh · ‎06-11-2012

right dear... Some ethernet line cards support either 802.1Q and Cisco-proprietary ISL. Some line cards simply support 802.1Q.... and 802.1Q is useful for intervlan routing only...
