in CCNA & CCENT
Hello,
Im studying for my CCNA and ive been given a load of labs, i completed the VLAN lab and was successful with being able to ping different end devices in different VLANS. then i moved on to the spanning tree lab and understood it but half way through i created 3 VLANS tried configuring them to test my trouble shooting....NOW.... i have figured out why i wasn't receiving any pings and that was because i (like an idiot) didn't give switchports access to the vlans....dumbest move. now ive recognised it ive gone to now give the switchports their access that they deserve only to find that when i see the vlan brief the interfaces are not assigning themselves to the port and have disappeared all together.
bare in mind I had previously set all ports in trunk and im wondering if this has anything to do with it. i dont want to start again because that cant happen in a real life situation. If anyone would like to help me with this i will gladly send any information needed to help with understanding my issue alittle clearer.
thanks

show vlan brief only shows access ports and not any trunk ports
to show trunk ports do a show interface trunk -

I would try doing some research on this page. But anyway I believe clarson found your answer. Cisco Nexus 1000V Command Reference, Release 4.0(4)SV1(3) - Show Commands [Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch for VMware vSphere] - Cisco

Is this on a L2 switch? Doesn't sound like you have any kind of routing in place. You need to explain your topology a little better. Are you on real equipment of Packet Tracer?“The problem with quotes on the Internet is that you can’t always be sure of their authenticity.” ~Abraham Lincoln -

Hi all, thank you so much for replying with help. sorry i didnt explain my topology better as i was slightly rushed and panicked looking for answers. the issue i had was i configured all my ports to trunk and i was unable to assign any ports to any Vlan i created. I had to reconfigure the end device ports to dynamic access and then i was able to assign the correct switchports access to the correct vlans. I know this hasnt really explained my issue at all but i thought i should reply..
