I've run into this situation while doing some practicing with the 3550s and some routers
2611------3550-------3550--------3640 all ethernet ports are set at full duplex 10 megabit speed. the 2611 and the 3640 are connected via a vlan tunnel. everything is working fine, until I turn on l2protocol-tunnel cdp on both switches, at which point I get the following error: 3640 FrameSwitch# 1w0d: %CDP-4-DUPLEX_MISMATCH: duplex mismatch discovered on Ethernet0/1 (not hal f duplex), with Router_14_2611 Ethernet0/1 (half duplex). 2611 1w0d: %CDP-4-DUPLEX_MISMATCH: duplex mismatch discovered on Ethernet0/1 (not ful l duplex), with FrameSwitch Ethernet0/1 (full duplex). as near as I can tell, there are no errors on any of the interfaces. no collisions, etc. not that I'm sending a lot of traffic during these studies, but extended pings don't come up with anything either. relevant configurations for all interfaces. as you can see, everything agrees all along the line. everyone is set for speed 10 and duplex full. if I turn off l2protocol-tuinnel cdp on the interfaces, the error messages disappear. I suspect a bug in CDP, but I'm wondering if I have missed anything. 2611 ------- interface Ethernet0/1 no ip address full-duplex ! interface Ethernet0/1.1 encapsulation dot1Q 121 ip address 122.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 ! interface Ethernet0/1.2 encapsulation dot1Q 122 ip address 122.1.2.1 255.255.255.0 ! interface Ethernet0/1.3 encapsulation dot1Q 123 ip address 122.1.3.1 255.255.255.0 ! interface Ethernet0/1.4 encapsulation dot1Q 124 ip address 122.1.4.1 255.255.255.0 !
