Anyone aware of how to configure the Nortel BayStack 5510 or 470 series for 802.1Q trunking?

I have never done a Cisco to Nortel trunk before ( try to avoid that one) However the configuration is "semi" straightforward on the Nortel.

From the CLI/GUI
1) Switch config
2) VLAN config
3) VLAN config

From there you will see this. You can create your VLAN's from here. If there is a + by the port this means that port is a memeber of that VLAN. You can add the + on all the VLANs you need. A - means this port is not a member of the VLAN.

To change the native VLAN you will have to do this from the previous menu.

Also you may have to activate the VLAN after you create it. Its been a while so im not 100%

Code:
                         VLAN Configuration

  Create VLAN:     [    1 ]              VLAN Type:         [   Port-Based   ]
  Delete VLAN:     [      ]              Protocol Id (PID): [      None      ]
  VLAN Name:       [ VLAN #1 ]           User-Defined PID:  [ 0x0000 ]
  Management VLAN: [ No  ] Now: 27       VLAN State:        [     Active     ]


                               Port Membership
            1-6    7-12  13-18  19-24  25-30  31-36  37-42  43-48
           ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------

 Unit #1   ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------








KEY: + = A Member of This VLAN, - = Not a Member of This VLAN
Use space bar to display choices, press <Return> or <Enter> to select choice.
Press Ctrl-R to return to previous menu.  Press Ctrl-C to return to Main Menu.


                         VLAN Configuration

  Delete VLAN:     [      ]              Protocol Id (PID): [      None      ]
  VLAN Name:       [ VLAN #16 ]          User-Defined PID:  [ 0x0000 ]
  Management VLAN: [ No  ] Now: 27       VLAN State:        [     Active     ]

Yeah, my menus are similar to what you have posted.

On the Nortel I put port fe0/1 as;

Code:
                        Port:       [  1  ]
                        PVID:       1
                        Port Name:  Port 1
      VLANs        VLAN Name                  VLANs        VLAN Name
    ---------  ----------------             ---------  ----------------
        1       NetAppV1
        45     VLAN #45
        46     VLAN #46



On the two ports I have configured for testing look like this;
Code:
                        Port:       [  2  ]
                        PVID:       1
                        Port Name:  Port 2
      VLANs        VLAN Name                  VLANs        VLAN Name
    ---------  ----------------             ---------  ----------------
        1       NetAppV1
        45     VLAN #45

And
Code:
                        Port:       [  3  ]
                        PVID:       1
                        Port Name:  Port 3
      VLANs        VLAN Name                  VLANs        VLAN Name
    ---------  ----------------             ---------  ----------------
        1       NetAppV1
        46     VLAN #46

On my Cisco 3560G I have Gi0/23 setup as;
Code:
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,45,46


For testing I have one laptop configured and connected to the Nortel switch and VLAN IP interfaces defined on the Cisco switch.

No luck pinging from the laptop to the Cisco as configured. Any ideas?

Go to "VLAN Port Configuration" and make sure for tagging it says "Tag all"
Code:
                            VLAN Port Configuration



              Port:                        [ 48  ]
              Filter Untagged Frames:      [ No  ]
              Filter Unregistered Frames:  [ No  ]
              Port Name:                   [ Port 48 ]
              PVID:                        [   17 ]
              Port Priority:               [ 0 ]
              Tagging:                     [ Tag All         ]

              AutoPVID (all ports):        [ Disabled ]

Here is what I have for those three ports on the Nortel device;

Code:
              Port:                        [  1  ]

              Port Priority:               [ 0 ]
              Tagging:                     [ Tag All         ]

              AutoPVID (all ports):        [ Disabled ]

Code:
              Port:                        [  2  ]

This is why I have never done this in a production network before ;)

Only other thing I can think of make sure the vlans are active on the Nortel. Does the Cisco show the interface is actually trunking? "show inter trunk"

Well the Cisco switch is now in trunking mode; however, no packets seem to be crossing the trunk yet. Starting to fire up the packet captures now.

Trunking appears to be working now!

Cisco 3560G is configured as follows;

Code:
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 description "Test Port --> VLAN 45"
 switchport access vlan 45
 speed 100
 duplex full
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
 description "Test Port --> VLAN 46"
 switchport access vlan 46
 speed 100
 duplex full
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/23
 description "802.1Q Trunk --> Nortel BayStack"
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
!
interface Vlan1
 no ip address
 shutdown
!
interface Vlan45
 ip address 192.168.0.254 255.255.255.0
!
interface Vlan46
 ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0
!


Nortel BayStack 5510-24T is configured as follows;

Code:
                               Port Configuration

 Port   Trunk    Status      Link   LnkTrap  Autonegotiation   Speed  Duplex
 ----   -----  ------------  -----  -------  ---------------   -----------------
    1          [ Enabled  ]    Up   [ On  ]   [ Disabled ]     [ 100Mbs / Full ]

*Note: I did notice issues with Nortel and Cisco being able to negotiate the line parameters. If I configure the Gi0/23 interface to speed 100 and duplex full the interface on both ends goes down. Even thought the Nortel device is configured to have negotiation disabled and the port settings are 100MBs / Full. So much for vendor compatibility and standards?

On the Cisco side of things sh int gi0/23 should look like this;
Code:
Port      Mode      Encapsulation   Status      Native vlan
Gi0/23      on      802.1q      trunking   1

Port      Vlans allowed on trunk
Gi0/24      1-4096

Port      Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Gi0/23      1,45-46

Port      Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
Gi0/23      1,45-46


Lastly here are some additional bits of information on the devices used;

Cisco 3560G
Code:
IOS 12.2(35)SE5


Nortel BayStack 5510-24T
Code:

If this is going to be sticky, we should move it to tutorials...

If I read your config properly, I think one problem is that you have all the Nortel ports set to 'Tag All' - which makes them all trunk ports - but you only had one port on the Cisco set up for trunking. Leave one of them as the trunk port and set the others to 'Untag All' to make them access ports.

I haven't worked with the 5510, but have worked with Nortel 460 and 470 switches. I've set up Port-Based VLANs to Cisco equipment (routers and switches) and see that you have your Nortel VLAN configuration as Port-Based already.

Connect the Cisco trunk port (g0/23) to the Nortel trunk port (1 ?) using a crossover cable - unless there is some autodetecting of this being performed on one of the boxes.

On the Nortel box, the trunk port is then a member of every VLAN you configure, plus any other access ports you want on that VLAN.

Hope this helps.
