The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Would like to use 1Q VLAN to trunk two cisco routers

Asked by inteliport in Miscellaneous Networking, Network Operations

Tags: cisco, me3400, vlan

Currently trying to connect two locations via 1Q VLAN in order to migrate to new internet gateway.  
The future goal is to aggregate all locations via Ethernet to one central location using vlans.

My issues is that I cannot ping either side when I try to use sub-interfaces, here's the traffic flow and setup.

Location-1                       Location-2
3660 -> ME3400 Port1 -> ME3400 Port 1-> 3Com4200 -> 7200

Location-2
7200 -> ME3400 Port 2 -> Internet

The 3660 connects to the ME3400 switch on port1 via FastEthernet0/1 with an ip address of 10.10.10.2/30

The ME3400 Port1 on the other side connects to a 4200 3Com switch and then the 3Com switch connects to the 7200 on interface GigabitEthernet0/1
The interface GigabitEthernet0/1 interface has a secondary address of 10.10.10.1/30

Then on interface GigabitEthernet0/2 the 7200 connects back to the ME3400 Port-2 which is handed off to the new Internet Gateway

The Telco owns both ME3400's

The 3660 looks like this (no vlan) this works

interface FastEthernet0/1
 ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.252
 speed auto
 full-duplex
 no cdp enable

The 7200 looks like this (no vlan) this works

interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 ip address public-ip 255.255.255.0 secondary
 ip address public-ip 255.255.255.128 secondary
 ip address public-ip 255.255.255.0 secondary
 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252 secondary
 ip address public-ip 255.255.254.0
 ip route-cache same-interface
 duplex auto
 speed auto
 media-type rj45
 no negotiation auto

The above works and I can ping both 10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.1 from both routers I can ping the internet if I setup a route, but here's the issue,

When I setup up both sides for vlans

3600
interface FastEthernet0/1.100
 ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.252
 encapsulation dot1Q 100
 no cdp enable

7200
interface GigabitEthernet0/1.100
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
 encapsulation dot1Q 100
 no cdp enable

I cannot ping ether one, my guess is the routers are stripping the tags off the vlans and not routing the ip's, or It can't find the proper route, I tired just about everything to get this to route using the vlans, except the one that works ;)

I need to get this to work so that we can issue Vlans from different locations that will be backed hauled with Ethernet to the 7200 Internet gateway, once this is working I will have the Telco point all the public Class C's to the new 7200 gateway.

Any ideas,

Thanks in advance
