Here is the config I used which worked perfectly with one vlan. I
verified with show etherchannel summary, my EIGRP neighbors
established, and I could ping across with no loss:
SW1:
interface FastEthernet0/17,18,20,21
switchport access vlan 100
switchport mode access
l2protocol-tunnel cdp
l2protocol-tunnel stp
l2protocol-tunnel vtp
no cdp enable
SW3:
interface Port-channel1
no switchport
ip address 148.8.1.9 255.255.255.0
!
interface FastEthernet0/14
no switchport
no ip address
channel-group 1 mode on
!
interface FastEthernet0/15
no switchport
no ip address
channel-group 1 mode on
SW4:
interface Port-channel1
no switchport
ip address 148.8.1.10 255.255.255.0
!
interface FastEthernet0/14
no switchport
no ip address
channel-group 1 mode on
!
interface FastEthernet0/15
no switchport
no ip address
channel-group 1 mode on
Notice I am not using the switchport mode dot1q-tunnel command. I'm
not sure why that is needed considering you are not using dot1q
trunks?
Also aren't you breaking the task requirement by adding 2 additional
vlans instead of 1? I know thats what it does in the solution guide
but these points are not addressed.
Hopefully one of the Brian's can comment here...
Thanks
