This lab is designed to walk you through a basic VLAN configuration using two Catalyst 1900 (or 2820) series switches. This lab shows you step-by-step what commands to type in and how to check that you have configured things correctly. Each switch must be configured with the Enterprise edition software. The Cisco IOS software CLI is not available if the switch has been configured with the Standard edition software. While it is possible to complete most of this lab using a single Catalyst 1900/2820 series switch, a second Catalyst 1900/2820 series switch (or Cisco switch that supports ISL) is required to complete Section 4, "Configuring an. | CertificationZone Page 1 of 17 Date of Issue 04-01-2001 CCNA Layer 2 Switching - Virtual Local Area Networks Lab Scenario by Leigh Anne Chisholm Introduction Preparing Your Switches Section 1 - Configuring VLAN Trunk Protocol VTP Section 2 - Creating VLANs Section 3 - Verifying VLAN Functionality Section 4 - Configuring an ISL Trunk Link Section 5 - More VTP Configuration Section 6 - Viewing Spanning Tree Protocol Information Section 7 - Configuring ISL Routing The VLAN Wrap-Up Introduction This lab is designed to walk you through a basic VLAN configuration using two Catalyst 1900 or 2820 series switches. This lab shows you step-by-step what commands to type in and how to check that you have configured things correctly. Each switch must be configured with the Enterprise edition software. The Cisco IOS software CLI is not available if the switch has been configured with the Standard edition software. While it is possible to complete most of this lab using a single Catalyst 1900 2820 series switch a second Catalyst 1900 2820 series switch or Cisco switch that supports ISL is required to complete Section 4 Configuring an ISL Trunk Link. Section 3 Verifying VLAN Functionality and Section 4 Configuring an ISL Trunk Link require access to two PCs that can be connected directly to the switch ports of the primary switch that you will use for the lab. To successfully complete these sections you must be able to alter the IP address configuration information on each of these PCs. To complete Section 4 Configuring an ISL Trunk Link you need one crossover cable to connect the switches. Section 7 Configuring ISL Routing requires access to a Cisco router that supports ISL trunking and that is equipped with a FastEthernet port. Preparing Your Switches Processes currently executing on the Catalyst switches involved in this lab may interfere with the expected outcome from each section of this lab. Therefore it is recommended you begin working through these labs only after resetting
