Thanks Mounir,

I think this might be the problem because I am using Dynamips, not real
Catalyst 3560 switch.

I have used 3640 router with NM-16ESW in Dynamips.

Can someone confirm (if ever faced this problem) if this is really
because of Dynamips?

Regards
Subodh

Dear Subodh,

Am upload your config to 2-3560 with ip routing disabled and everything
working fine

SW1
interface FastEthernet0/7
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk

interface Vlan5
 ip address 5.5.5.1 255.255.255.0

------------------------------------

SW2
interface FastEthernet0/7
end

interface Vlan5
 ip address 5.5.5.2 255.255.255.0

sw1#show interfaces tru

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan
Fa0/7 on 802.1q trunking 1

Port Vlans allowed on trunk
Fa0/7 1-4094

Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Fa0/7 1-3,5,9-10,500

sw2#ping 5.5.5.1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 5.5.5.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/8 ms
sw2#exit

[Connection to sw2 closed by foreign host]
sw1#ping 5.5.5.2

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 5.5.5.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/9 ms
sw1#

So make sure that the VLAN u working on allowed on the trunk and not
pruned (If pruning enabled)

        Hi Champs,

        A basic switching problem I am facing. Please see the diagram
below:

            --- f1/7 f1/7 ---
          |sw1|--------------------------------|sw2|
            --- dot1Q Trunk ---

        Switch 1 is VTp Server with domain CISCO
        Switch 2 is VTP Client with domain CISCO
        port f1/7 is configured as Dot1q encapsulation on both the
switches.
        Only one VLAN, i.e. VLAN 3 is added on Sw1 and Same is reflected
in Sw2
        too when I see "show vtp status"
        and "show vlan brief" command. Please note that this VLAn is not
        associated with any physical interface of switch.

        When I see "sh int fa1/7 trunk" on both the switches, it shows
as
        trunking with dot1q encapsulation.

        IP address of VLAn 3 on SW1 is 3.3.3.1/24 while on sw2 is
3.3.3.2/24.

        "sh ip int br" also shows up,up for fa1/7 and vlan 3.

        I am not able to ping 3.3.3.1 from sw2 and 3.3.3.2 from sw1.
However, I
        can ping Ip of own switch, i.e. 3.3.3.2 from sw2 and 3.3.3.1
from sw1.

        Can somebody tell me what is wrong with my configuration?

        Another good thing is that, when I see "show cdp entry *" from
either
        switches, it shows information about other switch. e.g. when I
see "show
        cdp entry *" from sw1, it shows IP address of 3.3.3.2 (of sw2)
in its
        CDP database. It means layer 2 is working perfect and trunking
is also
        perfect. Trunking is working fine can be verified from the
result that
        VLAN 3 is present on sw2 which is VTP client for CISCO VTP
domain.

        I am not sure why I am not able to ping VLAN 3 IP address of
each other
        switches.

        My configuration is below:

        Sw1
        interface FastEthernet1/7
        switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
        switchport mode trunk
        !
        interface Vlan3
        ip address 3.3.3.1 255.255.255.0

        Sw2
        interface FastEthernet1/7
        switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
        switchport mode trunk
        !
        interface Vlan3
        ip address 3.3.3.2 255.255.255.0

        CDP output:
        sw1#sh cdp entry *
