Cisco Switch and Nortel Switch

Hi
I have a cisco 2960 switch which has 3 vlans configured on it and I have a Nortel Baystack 460 switch connected to it. The 2 switches are connected together. I would like to know how to configure the nortel switch so that it can be see the vlans that are been created on the cisco switch

Hi,

Nortel doesnt support VTP at all. VTP is available only on Cisco. My suggestion is to configure trunk interconnection between the switches.

Can you guide me through the procedure to create a trunk on the nortel switches?

You have a section about trunking. I have only worked with nortel L2/3 and L3/7 switches for IBM Blade Center. I do not know how it is being done on these via CLI.

Thans for the document. But tell me, when i go to create a multi-trunk port, it asks me to specify 2 ports that needs to be added to the trunk. One port will be the Port on the Nortrel Switch anf then how do I specify the second port which is on th Cisco Switch that needs to be trunked??

predragpetrovic

configure terminal
interface %type %number
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan all
switchport nonegotiate
exit

where %type is gigabit, fastethernet etc...
where %number is 0/10 , 1/10 , 2/20 :)
