Hi NetPro,
something new to me, wish netpro can share to me and guide me how to resolve this.
Upstream Switch A- model WS-C3750G-12S-S (version 12.2(35)SE5)
Downstream Switch B - Model WS-C3560-24PS-S ( version 12.2(35)SE5)
vtp domain - jack
vtp mode - transparent.
vtp version - 2
when i configured both switch as trunk and dot1Q. it doesn't work.
so, i tried to change it to access vlan. and it work successful.
i am curious. what wrong with this ?
regards,
jack

Then I am confused - what is the issue, if you have change the IP address, and the connection between the 2 switches is a trunk, then trunking is working.

hahaha, yeah that's my concern.
i also don't know what to do now, i am pretty blur . this is my first time encountered this problem.
like i mentioned to you earlier. another site which having the same config (the only different is the switch they are using 3560 ) and it was working.
now then my upstream switch is 3750 but doesnt work.

OK listen - The trunking in your sim is working. Further testing will prove this:-
1) Create more vlans on both switches, and give them IP addresses and ping between them.
2) Configure VTP on the switches - as the name suggests VLAN Trunking Protocol WILL NOT work if there is NO trunk between 2 switches.
3) If you have some switches in a production environment that are not trunking 100% CHECK THE CONFIG.
Trunking is one of the most basic, turn it on and it will work protocols in the Cisco Switch environment, if it's not working, there is a config issue or physical issue 99.99% of the time.

Just to add: Make sure "IP Routing" on the 3750 is disabled (no ip routing).

Hi Leolaohoo.

Can you try to post the "sh run" of the two switches?
