Trunking Cisco 2900 and 4506
I am trying to connect new Cisco 2900 switch to our existing 4506 switch and give access to other vlans. The new switch will be belong to vlan10. I have configured the following on one of the porst on 4506 and I am going to configure one port on 2900 with the same configuration. vlan10 is already configure on our core switch and access permission has been set up.
switchport access vlan 10
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
Once the configuration is done, I have to add all the ports on 2900 to vlan 10, right?
In this case, do I have to use cross-over cable between the two ports or straight through is ok?
switchport access vlan 10
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

Okay, that did not work.
Let me clarify by explaining our environment.
We have multiple VLANS but they are able to communicate each other.
Our core switch which is 4507 is the VTP server and the rest of the 4506 switches are VTP clients.
All 4506 switches are directly connected to 4507's Supervisor module.
We added this 2900 switch recently to replace a dummy switch which was plugged into one of the ports one of the 4506s.
VLAN 10 is already defined on the core switch along with other VLANS.
I wasn't able to run some of the commands like switchport mde trunk encap and only options I had were native, access and prunning.
Any idea?
Thank you.

Hello, if 2900 will have all ports in same VLAN, try to configure it in VTP mode transparent, create manually VLAN 10 and connect it to 4560.
Also please submit IOS version from 2900.
