Help in trunking 3550 and 2950 switches

[TechTryer]

I am a Newbie in Cisco Switches
Can anybody show me how to trunk a Cisco 3550-12G to a Cisco 2950T-24

At the moment, we are just using that for bridging

any help would be much appreciated

You will need to decide which trunking protocol you are going to use (ISL, dot1q)then from global conf:

Switch(config)#int g0/X
Switch(config-int)#switchport trunk encapsulation {dot1q/ISL}
Switch(config-int)#switchport mode trunk
Switch(config-int)#int g0/Y
Switch(config-int)#switchport trunk encapsulation {dot1q/ISL}
Switch(config-int)#switchport mode trunk

And so on for all your interfaces.
Commands might be a bit rusty (been a while) but if the dont work, type one word, then leave a space and type &quot;?&quot; and you'll get a list of available options.

If your network isnt all cisco I'd suggest using dot1q.

Give it a try and dont forget to back up your config first
