Sorry - wasn't paying close enough attention - the message reads 2900 and I
was seeing 2600. Oops!
As for making sure trunking works properly between two switches...Make sure
that the ports on both ends of the link are configured identically. This
means speed, duplex, trunking mode (on, off, desirable, etc..),
encapsulation (dot1q or isl).
The big gotcha I ran across is making sure that both ports have the same
VLAN. After all, they have to be able to talk in order to be able to
negotiate the rest of the connection. It doesn't make sense since the
negotiation is all via layer 2 protocols but the switches were pretty picky
about it. This is where setting up VLAN 1 as the management interfaces/VLAN
came in handy most. Since the default VLAN of a port is VLAN 1, I didn't
have to change it.
HTH,
Karen
