3750 <--ISL--> 1912 problem

[NetMaxKar]

When port on 3750 is in access mode (vlan 24), and port on 1912 is trunk off, everything is ok. But now I need to communicate the devices via ISL trunk. I had configured both machines by the appropriate tech docs, but i have troubles...

On 1912 machine:

!

ip address 10.195.60.2 255.255.255.0

ip default-gateway 10.195.60.1

!

interface FastEthernet 0/26

duplex full

!

!

trunk On

!

On 3750 machine:

!

interface GigabitEthernet2/0/20

description Trunk to Cisco 1912

switchport encapsulation isl

switchport mode trunk

no mdix auto

!

!

interface Vlan24

ip address 10.195.60.1 255.255.255.0

!

In this way configuration (trunking), there is no ping between them.

May be i do something wron? PLS HELP!

Hello,

can you check the VTP configuration of the 1912 ? AFAIR, the 1912 defaults to VTP server mode, so you either need to create the VLAN (24) on the 1912, or make the 3750 the VTP server and the 1912 the VTP client for the VTP domain...

Thanks a lot but,

As you can saw above, Vlan is created on 3750, and 3750 is in server mode. 1912 is in client mode.

May be configuration of VTP is wrong somewhere?

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

VTP domain names are case-sensitive, it looks like you have ´Meri´ (with a capital M) configured on your 3750, and ´meri´ (small caps m) on your 1912, make sure the names match...

GP

Hm... now i had configured `Meri` on both devices. But still the same problem. May be trouble in the difference of VTP versions?

You are trying to connect Gigaethernet to fastethernet. Is gigaethernet capable of negotiating speed ? Check this. Are you able to ping the switch 1900 from 3750 and vice versa?

[Georg Pauwen · Accepted solution]

Hello,

you are right, your output shows that your 1912 os running VTP version 1, and your 3750 version 2. Make sure the versions are the same on both switches...

GP

Does 1912 suports VTP version 2.0 I can't find it in the command line, and i can not change vtp version on the 3750 because this is the main VTP server of our domain and probably i think it may cause fault of communications to other switches, whic are working via VTP 2

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

that is going to be problematic, since 1900 (and 2820) switches only support VTP version 1...

GP

[NetMaxKar]

Ok. How to decrease VTP from 2.0 to 1.0 version on 3750?

[amit-singh]

Hi..

On 3750

conf t

vtp version 1

You are done.

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

watch out though with changing the VTP version: version 1 and 2 are not interoperable. You will loose all connectivity between switches running a different VTP version. It might be a good idea to do this afterhours...:)
