Hey guys, I've been trying to figure this out for the past 6 hours. I've read everything that I could possibly find and still cannot resolve the issue. Basically, I am trying to create a simple inter-vlan lab using dot1q:
..............R2610
..................|
..................|
............SW2912
.........(10.0.11.1 - VLAN1 - native)
........./..............\
......./..................\
Host A...............Host B
(10.1.22.3).....(10.1.33.3)
VLAN2................VLAN3
The problem is that neither of the hosts can ping the switch. As you can see from the output below both VLAN2 and VLAN3 are show as ADMINISTRATIVELY DOWN.
VLAN1 10.1.11.1 YES NVRAM up up
VLAN2 10.1.22.1 YES manual administratively down down
VLAN3 10.1.33.1 YES manual administratively down down
FastEthernet0/1 unassigned YES unset up up
FastEthernet0/2 unassigned YES unset down down
FastEthernet0/3 unassigned YES unset up up
FastEthernet0/4 unassigned YES unset down down
FastEthernet0/5 unassigned YES unset up up
.....
And sh run:
...
interface FastEthernet0/1
description To Vlan 2
switchport access vlan 2
!
interface FastEthernet0/2
!
interface FastEthernet0/3
description To Vlan 3
switchport access vlan 3
!
interface FastEthernet0/4
!
interface FastEthernet0/5
description Trunk to Router
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
!
......
!
interface VLAN1
description Management VLAN
ip address 10.1.11.1 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache
!
interface VLAN2
ip address 10.1.22.1 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache
shutdown
!
interface VLAN3
ip address 10.1.33.1 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache
shutdown
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
