Configuring VLANs
 Configure the VLANs required on the 2 switches. This is done by using the
“VLAN” command under global configuration mode.
 Optionally, you can also assign them names. Let’s create VLAN 10 as Red
c
and VLAN 20 as Green on both switches.

VLAN 10 VLAN 10
name Red name Red
VLAN 20 VLAN 20
name Green name Green
Assigning Ports to VLANs
 Now that the VLANs are created on both the switches, lets assign the ports
to the appropriate VLAN based on the Physical Network Diagram.

Configuring a Trunk between the Switches
 All the ports in VLAN 10 ports on SW1 can communicate to each other and
all the VLAN 10 ports on SW2 can communicate to each other.
 The same holds good for VLAN 20 on
c both the switches.
 Now we need them to talk to each other. This is done by created a trunk
between the 2 switches so that the VLAN tag information is carried from
SW1 to SW2.
 This will allow PC1 on SW1 to communicate to PC3 on SW2 and PC2 on
SW1 to communicate to PC4 on SW2.
 The trunk creates a single Switch fabric between the 2 switches allowing
them to pass traffic within the VLAN.
Configuring a Trunk between the Switches
 We will use Dot1q (Industry Standard) encapsulation to link the switches to
each other.

 Ping PC3 from PC1 to verify connectivity.

 Ping PC4 from PC2 to verify connectivity.
Configuring VTP for VLAN Propagation
 We had to create the VLANs on both switches.
 VTP allows us the ability to manage the creation, editing and deletion of
VLANs from a central switch. c
 The central switch is set to the VTP Mode Server.
 We will configure SW1 as a VTP Server and SW2 as a VTP Client.
 We will configure them in a Domain called CCNA.
 From this point, you will only be able to create the VLANs on SW1.
 They will automatically propagate to the other Switch(s).
Configuring VTP for VLAN Propagation
 Configure a VTP Domain called CCNA on both Switches. Configure SW1 as
the VTP Server and SW2 as a Client.
 Configure VLANs 10, 20 & 30 onc SW1. They should be created on SW2
automatically.

 Type “Show VLAN” on SW2 to verify the creation of the VLANs.
