isl trunk on 6509

2000-10-24 Thread whitaker



I  was trying to set up an ISL trunk on my 
gigabit fiber link, but it responded that it was only able to run in nonegotiate 
mode.  Since this is going between two 6509s gigabit fiber link, I was 
never able to exchange VTP information between the two in nonegotiate mode, and 
it wouldn't let me switch it to anything else.  I now have a trunk running 
across one of the 10/100 switch module ports.
 
Is this a limitation of the gigabit fiber 
links?  Or is there something I'm missing here?

I believe that
I came across this problem in the past while creating an ISL trunk on a 6509.  Verify that spantree portfast is
disabled on the gigabit ports.

Why don't you trunk w/dot.q.
Once you are done, and if you feel pretty strong about using isl, then 
change it over; But by then you would have already your vtp.

bye.
