Lab B.1: Creating VLANs

In this lab, you will create multiple VLANs on only one switch. Lab B.2 will
have you create VTP configurations that will allow this VLAN information
to be propagated to the second switch.
1. Telnet or connect to the first 1900 switch. Set the hostname of the
switch to 1900A.
2. Create four VLANs (25) and name them according to the following list:
VLAN2=Sales
VLAN3=Management
VLAN4=Engineering
VLAN5=Marketing

Lab B.2: Assigning VLANs to Switch Ports

In this lab, you will configure two ports of the switch to be a member of each
VLAN.
1. Configure ports 1 and 2 to be in VLAN 2. Remember that all ports are
in VLAN 1 unless set differently.

2.
a.Assign ports 3 and 4 to be in VLAN 3.
b. Assign ports 5 and 6 to be in VLAN 4.
c. Assign ports 7 and 8 to be in VLAN 5.
3. Verify your configuration with the show vlan command.
4. Verify your VLAN memberships with the show vlan-membership
command.

Lab B.3: Configuring Trunking

Before we can share information with our second switch, we need to configure
the link between the switches. We dont necessarily have to configure a
trunked link, but then only VLAN 1 information would be transferred
between switches, and we want to configure all VLANs information to be
transferred between switches.
1. On 1900A, configure port 26 to be in auto trunk mode. This will
allow the link to become trunked as soon as we set the second switchs

2
trunk port to on.
2. Attach to the second 1900 switch and name the switch 1900B. Create
port 26 as a permanent trunk port.

Lab B.4: Configuring VTP

In this lab, you will configure the 1900A switches with a VTP domain name,
configure the second switch as a client, and verify that VTP information is
updated from the server to the client.
1. Telnet or connect a console to the 1900A switch. Set the switch to be
a server VTP switch. (This is the default, but type it in anyway for
practice.)
2. Set the VTP domain name to Classroom1 .
3. Verify that the VTP information is configured correctly.
4. Telnet or connect to 1900B, set the VTP domain name, and set the
VTP mode to client.

5. Verify both switches VTP configuration by using the show vtp

command. Also verify that the VLAN information is propagated
from the server switch to the client by using the show vlan
command.
6. From 1900B, type show vlan to see if the VLAN information was
propagated from the 1900A switch.

Lab B.5: Configuring Inter-VLAN Routing with ISL

Now that we have configured our VLANs and set up VTP domain informa-tion
so both switches have the same VLAN configurations, we need to con-figure
the 2600 router to support inter-VLAN routing.
1. Plug the 2500 into one of the FastEthernet ports on either switch. It
doesnt matter where you plug the router into the switch fabric.
2. Configure the switch port as a trunk port.

3. Configure the 2600 router FastEthernet port to route between all
VLANs.
