I'm pretty new to networking. I'm working on creating some vlans, assigning them some ports, and then trying to configure one of those vlans as the native vlan. here's what I have done.

Switch(config)#vlan 10
Switch(config-vlan)#name accounts
Switch(config-vlan)#exit
Switch(config)#vlan 20
Switch(config-vlan)#name sales
Switch(config-vlan)#exit
Switch(config)#vlan 30
Switch(config-vlan)#name marketing
Switch(config-vlan)#exit
Switch(config)#vlan 153
Switch(config-vlan)#name Management&Native
Switch(config-vlan)#exit
Switch(config)#vlan 771 
Switch(config-vlan)#name blackhole
Switch(config-vlan)#exit
Switch(config)#int range f0/1-6
Switch(config-if-range)#swi
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport mode a
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport mode access 
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)#no shut
Switch(config-if-range)#exit
Switch(config)#int range f0/7-12
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport access vlan 20
Switch(config-if-range)#no shut
Switch(config-if-range)#exit
Switch(config)#int range f0/13-18
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport access vlan 30
Switch(config-if-range)#exit
Switch(config)#int range f0/19-21
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport access vlan 771
Switch(config-if-range)#shutdown
Switch(config-if-range)#exit
Switch(config)#int range f0/22-24
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport mode trunk
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30,153
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport trunk native vlan 153
Switch(config-if-range)#exit

I'm getting the error message :

%CDP-4-NATIVE_VLAN_MISMATCH: Native VLAN mismatch discovered on FastEthernet0/22 (153), with Switch FastEthernet0/21 (1).

I haven't been able to figure out why the error persists. Huge thanks to anyone who answers in advance. Would appreciate it.

This is because the port f0/22 of this Switch is trunking VLAN 153 as native VLAN while the port f0/21 of another Switch does not (by default, it is trunking vlan 1 as native VLAN)

  • this Switch (f0/22) <==> (f0/21) another Switch

You need to configure the port f0/21 of another Switch to be the same as port f0/22 of this switch and make sure number of VLANs and VLAN IDs are identical on both devices.

  • thank you very much. ill configure all other switches accordingly.

  • @Bibhushan Try to solve this issue on another Switch (port f0/21) first and let us know the result.

  • OR turn off CDP. This isn't actually an error; it could've been done on purpose. CDP requires a heterogeneous network.
