Larry,
But when you hardcode allowed vlans(say vlan 2,3,4 over fa 0/23 and vlan 4,5,6 over fa 0/24), If one link fails(say fa 0/24), I don't think vlan 4,5,6 can traverse over fa 0/23 because you have hard coded the allowed vlans. Have you ever tried sutting down one trunk.

I dont think so , Mani...all our switches have two trunks, one to gw1 and one to gw2.
The 35xx switches are all using switchport trunk with vlan allowed. if one trunk fails the other
trunk becomes unblocked in stp and takes over. The same vlans are allowed on both trunks, so I
dont see how it wont failover....

Hi Larry,
As Tim said, if the trunk configured with switch port allowed vlan and if that trunk fails, there is no failover(to other trunk), but when you use port-priority on the root switch(or cost on non root switch), there is an effective failover. But when you have only one trunk, you can manipulate what vlan's traverses across the trunk. I think at your place you have only one trunk between the switches.
thanks
