Hi, Have you set the vlan in Vlan Database mode ? Have you set the ports in question to switchport mode access ? Have the ports in question been set to the vlan you want them to be in ?

I have a group of ports all on the same vlan, with "switchport" set to enable them as layer 2 switch ports. Directed IP traffic flows fine, but broadcast traffic is not flowing between the ports. The short story of the problem. In this test environment I have 5 NT servers plugged into the Cat 6500 and they can't see each other view "Network Neighborhood". My current goal is to just get this switch to act like your basic unmanaged switch (I'll work on the more interesting settings after I get this basic functionality working.) Any ideas what I might be missing? Matt ! Example of the current configuration: interface FastEthernet2/1 no ip address switchport ! interface FastEthernet2/2 no ip address switchport ! interface Vlan1 ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 no ip route-cache cef no ip mroute-cache Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=37186&t=37177 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
