Hi Wilfred,

Its not working....I tried to associate vlan3 to fa1/1. But "sh ip int
br" shows fa1/1 up,down as this port is not connected to any device or
port of remote switch.
I have even given "no keepalive" on int fa1/1

Any other suggestion pls.

Regards
Subodh

Hello Subodh,

Try assigning the Vlans to any ethernet interface on both the switches
and then try pinging...

Let me know if it works

Regards,
Wilfred

        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 *

        IP address: 3.3.3.2
