Hi Guys,
I am pretty amused on this. I am just trying to bring up the trunk between two
switches i am unable to find a good reason for that not to come up...
I am using two 2924C-XL-EN switches and connected them through their f0/1
interface. I am trying to bring up the trunk between them..but dont know why
it is not coming up..theport works fine as access port.. Please help..

I have tried IOS upgrade, speed/duplex setting change, cable change etc but
dont knw why the trunk is not coming up....the port works fine when it is used
as access port.
Any idea how 2924 switches trunk behaves??
