### VLAN Troubleshooting

How we can create Vlans

#Use coma 
SW1(config)#vlan 111,112,113           
SW1(config-vlan)#exit   
SW1(config)#do show vlan brief | in VLAN011
111  VLAN0111                         active    
112  VLAN0112                         active    
113  VLAN0113                         active     

#Use range
SW1(config)#vlan 111-117,119
SW1(config-vlan)#exit
SW1(config)#do show vlan brief | in VLAN011
111  VLAN0111                         active    
112  VLAN0112                         active    
113  VLAN0113                         active    
114  VLAN0114                         active    
115  VLAN0115                         active    
116  VLAN0116                         active    
117  VLAN0117                         active    
119  VLAN0119                         active 

# T-Shoot VLAN Config

We have 2 pc connected into (VLAN 100) Fa0/3 and Fa0/4 in same subnet but Ping doesn´t work.

SW1#show vlan 
VLAN Name                             Status    Ports
---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
1    default                          active    Fa0/1, Fa0/2, Fa0/5, Fa0/6, Fa0/7, Fa0/8, Fa0/9
                                                Fa0/10, Fa0/11, Fa0/12, Fa0/13, Fa0/14, Fa0/15
                                                Fa0/16, Fa0/17, Fa0/18, Fa0/19, Fa0/20, Fa0/21
                                                Fa0/22, Gi0/1, Gi0/2
100  VLAN0100                         act/unsup Fa0/4
<Omitted Lines>

! Port Fa0/3 is missing
! Could fa0/3 be a trunk ? 

SW1#show interfaces trunk        
Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
Fa0/23      on               802.1q         trunking      1
Fa0/24      on               802.1q         trunking      1
<Omitted Lines>

SW1#show interfaces fa0/3 trunk  
Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
Fa0/3       off              negotiate      other         1
<Omitted Lines>

! No Trunks. Lets look at fa0/3

SW1#show interfaces fastEthernet 0/3
FastEthernet0/3 is up, line protocol is down (monitoring)
  Hardware is Fast Ethernet, address is 0017.956e.fa03 (bia 0017.956e.fa03)
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000 Kbit, DLY 1000 usec, 
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
  Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set
  Keepalive set (10 sec)
  Auto-duplex, Auto-speed, media type is 10/100BaseTX
<Omitted Lines>

! It is a monitoring port.
! Monitoring means that this port is configured as destination port for SPAN.

SW1#show monitor 
Session 1
---------
Type                   : Local Session
Source Ports           : 
    Both               : Fa0/4
Destination Ports      : Fa0/3
    Encapsulation      : Native
          Ingress      : Disabled

! Disable the monitor configuration 

SW1(config)#no monitor ses 1

! Now lets take a look again

SW1#show interfaces status | in Fa0/3
 Port      Name               Status        Vlan         Duplex  Speed   Type
Fa0/3                        Connected      100           auto    auto   10/100BaseTX
 
! But Ping not still works!

SW1#show vlan id 100 
VLAN Name                             Status    Ports
---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
100  VLAN0100                         act/unsup Fa0/3, Fa0/4, Fa0/23, Fa0/24

VLAN Type  SAID       MTU   Parent RingNo BridgeNo Stp  BrdgMode Trans1 Trans2
---- ----- ---------- ----- ------ ------ -------- ---- -------- ------ ------
100  fdnet 100100     1500  -      -      -        -    -        0      0   
<Omitted Lines>

! Now we can see that Status is "unsupported" because Media type says "fdnet".
! We need to change media type for vlan 100

SW1(config)#vlan 100 
SW1(config-vlan)#media ?
  ethernet  VLAN type Ethernet
  fd-net    VLAN type FDDI Net
  fddi      VLAN type FDDI
  trbrf     VLAN type TRBRF
  trcrf     VLAN type TRCRF

SW1(config-vlan)#media ethernet 
SW1(config-vlan)#end

SW1#show vlan id 100 
VLAN Name                             Status    Ports
---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
100  VLAN0100                         act/lshut Fa0/3, Fa0/4, Fa0/23, Fa0/24

---- ----- ---------- ----- ------ ------ -------- ---- -------- ------ ------
100  enet  100100     1500  -      -      -        -    -        0      0   

! But Ping don´t works yet.

! We can see that the status is "lshut" it´s don´t loog good.
! This status means that someone has shutdown vlan 100.

SW1(config)#vlan 100 
SW1(config-vlan)#no shutdown 
SW1(config-vlan)#end

SW1#show vlan brief 
VLAN Name                             Status    Ports
---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
1    default                          active    Fa0/1, Fa0/2
100  VLAN0100                         active    Fa0/3, Fa0/4

! Finally Ping is Working !!!
