[c-nsp] VLAN Trunking Question

[chris]

Are the switches in vtp and are they  vtp client or vtp transparent ? 

 Ive seen an issue before where when you have 3 switches in a line defining vlans manually  outside of vtp traffic wont pass.

 In that instance we had to make the middle switch a vtp client. Odd but true...

Yes, they are defined in both the vlan database and the config on all the switches.

At the moment I’m just trying to make it work. If I don’t specifically allow certain vlans on the trunk then (my understanding is) all the vlans should be allowed and passed by the trunk by default. I thought that should work. If and when it does, I intend to lock it down so only vlan 808 is allowed on the trunk. But there is not much point in applying filters to a trunk that is not working even when it’s wide open.

Hey,

This would be right.
But i got a few questions.
* Have you defined the vlans?
* Why have a dirty net and have all vlans tagged on all ports, and not only on the ports you want them on?

  Okay, so I am trying to set up a single VLAN to go through a series of catalyst switches. What I need, effectively, is one long ethernet connection between two routers. I thought this should work but since it is not, clearly, I've fundamentally misunderstood something.
