Connectinng Two Different Switches

Here...again, I will continue to show you how to configure the access type switch, Cisco Catalyst 2950 with Avaya Multiservice Switch(Layer 2) from my experience.

We 'll configure the SX port to discard vlan(4097). This vlan is used to carry multiple vlan in a trunk. We add 802.1Q as the encapsulation mode for the port.
The configuration for the Avaya switch as in below line;

set port name 6/4 "Port 6.4 (Block E)"
set port vlan 6/4 4097
set port trunking-format 6/4 ieee-802.1Q
set port spanning-tree-mode 6/4 disable
set port vlan-binding-method 6/4 bind-to-all

Next, we will configure the SX gigabit module in the switch to accommodate the multiple vlan requirement for the port.

The configuration for the Cisco switch as in below line;

interface GigabitEthernet0/2
switchport mode trunk
speed nonegotiate
storm-control broadcast level 60.00
!

Before ending this process, we must do the necessar troubleshooting procedure such as ping, tracert and so on to make sure there is a connectivity between the switches.

That'all for for this topic..Thanks
