Question : Cisco Switch Trunking

I currently purchase a new Cisco 3560G switch to hook up with my existing Cisco 3560G.  I am not a networking guy by trade and am trying to fumble my way through trunking the two switches together so I can ping from VLAN to VLAN.  Here is where I am -

I have setup a port-channel group on each switch
hooked up cross-over cables
and setup the following config on each port channel

interface Port-channel30
 description Trunk Crossover
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode dot1q-tunnel

I have also changed the change the MTU size to 1504 on one of the switches but still have to reboot the other switch for that to take effect.

I also assigned an IP address to one of the new VLANs on the new switch and plugged a computer into it to activate the VLAN.

My question is that I am still not able to ping from one VLAN to another...What am I missing?

Thanks,
Mike

Answer : Cisco Switch Trunking

If all of the users of vlan732 are on one switch and the users of vlan730 are on the other, then just set up, for example. vlan730 on both switches. On switch 2, give the vlan interface any address on that subnet, it doesn't matter. But switch 2 will then know where that vlan is and will route traffic to it- which will forward to the users on switch 1.
