Change the Trunk Settings on Cisco 6006

I need some help changing a setting on a cisco 6006. I am going to replace an old cisco switch with a hp switch that connects via fiber into the cisco 6006 in slot 5 port 1. The cisco has ISL trunk settings turned on and I need to change this to port on the 6006 from isl to 802.1q . I am sure this is a easy task for most cisco guys but I know very little of it.

Any help is appreciated

If you want a general trunked port config, use these settings:

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate

Still confused I am looking for the command to do this. I know very little about the cisco 6006. The port I want changed to to 802.1q is in slot 5 port 1 on the 6006. Can you give me some commands to this ?

Do I need to be in a session 15 before running this command?

Do you know if your using the CatOS or IOS system software? "show version" will show the software info

It looks like you have the older CATOS, the code for setting a trunk looks like this:

set trunk {mod-num/port-num} {auto|desirable|ON|OFF} dot1q

so type

set trunk gi5/1 on dot1q

Here's an article on it, if you're interested - http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=29803&seqNum=3

Do I have to type in session 15 and then be in the enable mode of session 15 or do I just need to be in the enable mode when I first telnet to it.

eeRoot

No, session 15 gives you access to the router module. Note the number in the mod column from your earlier post.

"15 1 WS-F6K-MSFC SAD042203AB Hw : 1.4"

ok, that change seemed to go through. now do I do a copy running-config startup-config ? does this commmand save the change?

eeRoot

If I recall, on the 6000, CATOS uses the command "write memory" to save the config.

pgator

ASKER

I dont have the write memory option. I am in the enable area as well. I have write Network or write terminal or write <host> <File>

eeRoot

Some versions of CATOS saved changes as they were being made. Is the "copy running-config startup-config" command available?
