Uplinking a Cisco 3560 Switch

I am fairly new to switching so I am just doing this in a test environment to teach myself some things. I am trying to uplink a cisco 3560 switch from another WS-C3560X-24T-L  switch. I have it linked and I can plug in a laptop to the switch and get out to the internet but I am unable to ping the switch, telnet, or ping from the switch. It shows that VLAN2 is down but I am not sure why. I have VLAN1 administratively down and should be using VLAN2.

The uplink port is configured like this:

 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

 switchport mode trunk

 srr-queue bandwidth share 10 10 60 20

 srr-queue bandwidth shape 10 0 0 0

 queue-set 2

 mls qos trust cos

 auto qos voip trust

The port that it is being uplinked from is configured like this:

 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

 switchport mode trunk

 I meant to say spare3.

Only do "sh vtp password" on the main WS-C3560X-24T-S   switch to see if there's any password setup.
