it's switches like these that make me pull out my hair!

Deathmage

This is a brand-new, 15 minute old 2950 switch and I go to connect the 3750G to a 2950, setup the SVI and assign the ip address to vlan 100 and connect it up to the 3750G and I get a native vlan mismatch. For the lab I've been using the vlan 1 as the native vlan and didn't change it across the board, but for some odd reason the 3750G was set to 100 as the native.

So I literally had to force the native with the switchport trunk native vlan 1 command for it stick, but I didn't try this at 1st cause I was like wtf I didn't set the native vlan on purpose because it was using the default....

I'm honestly truly perplexed as how how the frig this happened and why I need to specifically set the native vlan.I even went as far on the 2950 to do 'erase startup-config' and do 'delete flash:vlan.dat'.

I really have no idea wtf cause this, anyone?

anyways, the core/distro/access layer lab is all done, been doing it since 3:45 am this morning. Also had to touch my VMware lab cause I'm **** about wiring and network-design when it comes to my labs... Going to a barbecue, but now it's finished, but serious this issue for the past two hours was making me pull out my hair.

The 2950 port connecting to the 3750G was probably set to an access port, so the CDP frames were being sent as untagged from VLAN 100 and this is why you saw it being the native VLAN. You could of set the 3750 side as trunk with VLAN 100 being the native VLAN and the 2950 as an access port in VLAN 100 and that would of worked. I wouldn't recommend this as you will only be able to transport 1 VLAN.

Indeed that was my reasoning. Only 1 vlan works correctly in a trunk the 2950 I've seen. Maybe I need some 2960's. I think these 2950's have out lived there age.

I suppose this labbing you see things all the time you don't expect to see. I think the error before was just my sign to take a break, was going at it for 10 hours straight. Went to a family reunion instead and had a blast minus nearly hitting a freaking bear in the middle of the road, shout-out to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's and Brembo brakes for the instant 65 mph to 15 pm zig-zag maneuver within 150ft.

I'm determined to put in the hours toward labbing for the next attempt. I want to eat,sleep, crap cisco till then...

I find short and sweet with goals to be achieved for each session(with time limits) rather than a marathon session works better for me.

Plan the session, broken down into tasks/parts, with a list of commands for each part, along with tests for each part so you can confirm it worked or not.
