Cisco Switching/Routing :: Trunking Between 3500XL And 3Com 4800g
Oct 14, 2012
I am trying to trunk between a 3Com 4800g and a Cisco 3500xl. I can get the a PC that connects to a vlan 1 port on thecisco switch to connect to the 3com switch and get connectivity. However, I cannot get anthing on the cisco switch that is on vlan 2 to connect and get dhcp. I am not a 3com guy, so I am not familiar with the command and configs.We have 2 vlans on both switches: Vlan 1 is Admin and Vlan 2 is Student.

Our company currently have a 3com 2816 connected to a 3com 4800G through a trunk. The 4800G connects to the PBX and to the ip phones/computers. We are currently using vlan1 (192.168.100.n) for data and vlan 3 (192.168.101.n) for voice , Ip addresses are being issued by a DHCP server. Each user has an assigned IP phone and it has an ethernet port that connects to each computer. This setup has been working properly until I purchased an SG300 and replaced the 3com 2816.
The ip phone is showing a bad gateway and the PC are getting an ip address of 192.168.101 (which is for voice). Theoretically it should work, but what is weird is, it seems the SG300 trunking with the 3com 4800G is not working. Is it possible that it is on ISL mode rather than dot1q?I also saw its running RSTP, should I changed it to classic STP?How do I fix this or what troubleshooting should i do?
The SG300 is configured as a layer 2 switch. Configuration for the trunk below:
interface gigabitethernet27
spanning-tree link-type point-to-point
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 3-4
macro description switch
macro auto smartport type switch $native_vlan 1

I've gotten this out of our storage unit here at work: This was not in use, I've restarted it, I can't get into the flash dir,I've tried to restart the switch via the documents I've gotten on the site.I have the lastest iOS version .bin for this switch, but I can't get this to load: here below is what happens when I try.

I have a POE switch running 12.0(5). I have port 24 connected as a trunk connected to the main switch. I need to add an ip address on vlan 21 which is where the network vlan is. I created it but I can not seem to enable it. I have issued the no shut command several times, but doing "sh ip int brief" it keeps showing up as administively down.

Can I have two different routers (different subnets) on one cisco 3500XL switch and still be able to communicate between the two? If so how can I do it?

I am using an Old 3500XL and I simply created a
interface VLAN 100
Description ***********
ip address 10.0.1.100 255.255.255.248
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache
shutdown
no matter what I do i cannot get it to come up, the rest of the switch is default config, I know I am just forgetting something, But I don't know what?

I'm configuring a catalyst 3500XL, but I'm having a problem, when I connect an ip phone it works just fine but if I connect a computer to the pc port in the phone the computer doesn't get an ip address. The switch is configure with two vlans Voice and Data and is connected from fa0/24 to a Catalyst 3560 fa0/46. I did configure both ports as trunk.

My understanding is that even layer 2 switches like the Cisco 3500XL can have 1 IP address for management. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to configure it to get it working in a router on a stick setup. I can manage the router through SSH, but I cannot SSH to the switch.

I have an old Cisco 3500XL I am using for my home lab, but was wondering can I use the fiber ports to connect to my PC. I have to correct NIC interfaces but no link indication. I did make sure the port was no down, but sill not link.

have a Switch I bought off a guy at work. Just to get into the Switching world of Cisco. He doesnt know the password on it and i cant reset the switch. I would like to mess around with it more but it doesnt load the flash or helper. It just sits there and holds. I have tried the password recovery and everything. Trust me, everything is correct, but it wont work for me. I cant load a new image to it because I dont have access to a server to get it from.

I am trying to configure a switch that was given to me. They don't know the password to anything. I have already tried to recover it. The problem is, the switch doesn't load flash, or will copy flash from xmodem either. It also doesnt load the helper or boot. It is user mode and lets me do nothing. It doesnt let me use the enable command to get into it. I would like to start the config from scratch. Its a 3500xl switch, 24 ports. I dont know what to do with it. I am trying to study for my CCENT Exam and would like a switch that worked.

i have several cisco 3500XL switches with trunking. I created a VLAN lets say 20 which purpose is for wireless clients. I installed wireless controller with 4 APs and controllers sees all 4 APs. Controller is also DCHP server. When wireless client authenticates it's DCHP requests in not getting to DHCP server (controller). If i connect all equipment in non managed switch everything works.

I have several Cata 3500XL switches connected to one 1 HP L3 switch which is connected Sonicwall router. Vlan1 has subnet of 10.10.0.0/24 and Microsoft DCHP server lays inside VLAN1.
Now i want to add VLAN11 (192.168.10.0/24) as second data VLAN but DHCP requests should go to microsoft DCHP server.
This is what i did:
Configured VLAN11 IP on each cisco switch
IP default gateway with IP from other subnet (i guess this is bad since maybe it should be IP of VLAN11 on HP L3 switch?)
Trunk ports are configured to pass everything on cisco switches
On VLAN11 i configured IPhelper IP to be MS DHCP server on each Cisco switch
I haven't tested this yet but i have problem in process.I can't ping VLAN11 IPs between switches (i configured VLAN1 and VLAN11 with IP). When client plugs computer to a port that belongs to VLAN11 will i be sure that client will get IP from the 192.168 range or there is possiblity that he gets IP from the management VLAN range?

I am trying to configure a 3500XL switch (and I know its old). I get to the int fa 0/1 line and thats where it all stops working.
switch#(config-if)#switch port mode access
switch#copy run start
or
switch#(config-if)#switch port mode access
switch#sh run int fa 0/1
It will show the configuration for port fa 0/1 as if I hadn't entered the "switch port mode access" command. Or any other command for that matter. Why the switch is not holding configuration and seemingly loses it as soon as you exit out of each interface?

I have problems too when I connect 3com and Cisco.
I have 2 5500g 3com switches connected with 2 links. If LACP is disable, this causes serious problems and STP not works.
Logically , the link, is a port trunk with all the vlans permitted. One switch has STP enable and the other RSTP. Why this not works fine? I need to configure MSTP maybe? PVSTP is not allowed on this switches.

I'm looking to setup Inter-VLan routing on a 4800G switch.
I'm looking for all workstations (VLAN1) to be able to talk to the windows network (VLAN2) and to our Novell network (VLAN3)
but I don't want Windows (VLAN2) and Novell (VLAN3) talking to each other. Is this possible accross a single switch? I have 7 switches available to use if needed.

We need to implement VLANs on my company's network. I have 3750 L3 swtich, ive setup 3 vlans for testing. ive setup SVI everything.now how do I connect it to 3com that will also use VLANs. should I set trunk port of cisco and 3com? or no need?

some of our switches have the switchport mode trunk command configured between the 3750 switches but other 3750 switches connected to our 6509 core switch do not have the switchport mode trunk command to permit Vlans from going across the swtiches instead it has an ip address and says no switchport what is the difference between does two. Is trunking used only for Layer 2 and L3 is used to route interface vlans?

I am very new at this, but we have a 2801 router running 12.4, a 3560 that acts as the "Core" switch, and a bunch of remote 2960G's that connect via fiber to different buildings.
I am tasked to VLAN this network to reduce broadcast traffic. I started by setting up a VLAN 169 on the "3560" named the VTP domain, changed to version 2, and no password. THe Core switch and remote switch can share the VTP info, I HAD the Router seeing it too (able to ping 192.168.169.1) until I changed the "Domain" and "VTP Version"
The switches see each other fine, my problem is the Router sub interface 0/0.169 I cannot get to see the VTP domain. I imagine because I don't have a "Trunk port" set on the Router, but the option is not there. Meaning I cannot do a "switchport mode trunk" on it. The only thing I see is to make it:
TCRouter(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1Q 169 native
But, my "int fas 0/0" is used now as the main interface for our "only" network 192.168.0.0, do I need to turn this over to a subinterface and make it "Native" then the difference of the subinterfaces will advertise? Here is some of my conf:
Core SW:
TCCoreSW#sh vtp status
VTP Version : running VTP2
Configuration Revision: 8
Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005

We purchased two new 4948 with two 10GE uplink ports and upgraded the devices to run IOS 15. My 6506 is running Sup 720 with s77233-adventerprisek0_wan-mz.122-33.SXI9. Currently we have 4948's connected to the same 6506's with no problems. Today I tried to add the new switches with new IOS and it caused of of my 6506 core switches to failover. I can't explain why because it was close to start of business and couldn't do much troubleshooting.
Currently we have four 4948 (running IOS 12.2(14) switches running Layer2 connecting dually to each of the two 6506 cores via 10GE fiber uplinks. I tried to add two more to the scenario, again running layer2 and dual-honing them to each of te 6506 switches. there are two 6506 core switches and they run HSRP and spanning tree is manually set to give priority to even vlans on one 6506 and odds on the other 6506. Also the new switches I tried to add did had rootguard applied as well as the uplinks.
We have to get this working and have no test environment to work with. We need to do this late this evening after close of business.
On another note, I have had problems upgrading some of my older 4948's to IOS 15. I followed Cisco's suggestion and upgraded the EPROM first and then the IOS upgrade took on three of the switches that were ordered rather recently. The four that were ordered in one batch will not take the upgrade even following Cisco's instruction and lots of other tricks. Nothing works. Having problems with IOS 15, in general?

I currently have 5 3750s connected via Stackwise. This stack is connected back to my core (6509s) via fiber (1Gig to Core1 & 1Gig to Core2). I want to move the 5th 3750 to another closet due to an addition of a new patch panel. Due to max length of 10 ft. for stackwise, my plan is to connect this 5th switch back to the stack using trunked fiber ports, with them being an etherchannel (2Gig). Also plan to use single fiber port form 2 different switches in the stack to provide some redundancy for the 5th switch. Should I be alert of any issues with this connection design? Do I need to properly remove the 5th switch from the stack using, no sw 5 provison sw-model or can I just disconnect stackwise and connect back with fiber?

We're trying to configure our Cisco 4507 (Supervisor Engine IV) to allow a new Dell server with a pair of Broadcom 5708 GigE NIC's to aggregate its NIC's to give us a 2gbps link to the switch.
So far we seem to have got the team and LACP up and enabled, but the adaptor that the Broadcom Admin Util creates for the team is only showing a 1gbps connection where I would have expected it to show as 2gbps.
The individual NICs show as connected at 1gbps. We're not Cisco experts so are struggling on how to get the 2 NICs to aggregate.
On the server side we've done nothing other than create a team using 802.3ad LINk Aggregation using LACP.
This is what I think the relevent output from "sho conf" is, more available if needed.

Imagine I am designing a small network with a C2900 router running OSPF and in the future BGP with service provider. Please see attached diagram.The router is connected to (2) C3750 Layer 3 distribution switches. Then one C3560 layer 2 switch to serve future IP phone users and desktops.
Question:
a)If I connect the router interface to the (2) 3750 switches, if I make the router interface fa0/0 and fa0/1 as a trunk to accomodate VLAN 200 and other future VLANs, don't I have a problem with overlapping networks between router interface fa0/0 and fa0/1?
b)Alternatively, I could make the Router1 fa0/0 and fa0/1 configured with IP addresses and advertised in OSPF. Then the SW1 fa0/24 and and SW2 fa0/24 I could make as 'no switchport and create a routed interface port' with IP addresses, also running OSPF. Question is, from a scalable design perspectie, would you create 2 management networks and use those when assigning the IP addresses for Router1 fa0/1 and fa0/2? Because again Router1 fa0/1 and fa0/2 obviously need to be placed on different networks to avoid overlapping. So my question is more about proper network planning design to make this scalable to accomodate future VLANs in the future.Using trunks between the Router1 and SW1 option:
Router1
int fa0/0
description connection to SW1
no ip add
int fa0/0.200

I have a 3560 8 port switch. Int gi0/9 is trunked to another switch downstream. When I try to configure int gi0/10 to trunk to a switch upstream the interface on the switch goes down and I have to either reboot the switch or plug directly into the switch and telnet into it to turn off trunking on the interface. When I configure trunking on the interface on the upstream switch that connects to this interface the same happens on that switch. The upstream switch is a 3750 with 12 sfp ports. Several interfaces are trunking to other switches from this switch. Spanning tree is not configured on the 3750 at all , and is not configured on either gi0/10 or gi0/9 on the 3560. I was consoled into the 3560 during a reboot after the interface went down, a message came up that said something like "Spanning Tree returning gigabit ethernet 10 to constant state" Why would I get this message if spanning tree is not enabled on the gig ports on either end of the trunk? There is no loop to require spanning tree to shut down an interface. I have several other 3560's configured as I would like to configure this switch and they are trunking without issue.

have setup a small lab as per CBTNuggets. Everything was going well until I introduced a second switch to create a trunk. Now I cannot ping between my two switches. Both show operational mode as down:
SWITCH1#show interfaces f0/12 switchport
Name: Fa0/12
Switchport: Enabled
Administrative Mode: trunk
Operational Mode: down
Administrative Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q
[code]....
I have tried to allow all vlans or vlan 1 specifically and the output of the above doesn't seem to change. I am wondering if there is something in the config-register that is preventing trunking, but I don't really know enough yet!
The output of my second switch is identical to this one, the only difference is that I have it configured as a vtp client.

We have been facing a problem at my company ! We have a Cisco Router 1921 with one HWIC-4ESW in trunking with a RuggedCom switch RSG2100.When I use the GigabitEthernet port to make a trunk, I create 2 sub-interfaces (one for each Vlan) and configure the Port on Switch as Trunk, the inter-VLan routing works with no problem.But now I need to use this configuration using the HWIC-4ESW on Router, and I can't do this work. I try creat interface Vlan for each vlan, and try creating the VLans at Router Vlans database, but no way. At router I enter in interface and try to do the switchport trunk command to add a Vlan, but doesn't work.

If you have a router with multiple direct vanilla FE (non trunked) interfaces on a switch trying to send QOS tagged packets to a wifi bridge several switches away does the trunking in the switched infrastructure mess with the qos tags if no qos is configured on the switches.
Does it depend on the switch? We have new 2960's running 12.2 and a few older 2950's running 12.1
