We're creating three separate [[VLAN]]s;
* VID 100 ([[BCN]])
* VID 200 ([[SN]])
* VID 300 ([[IFN]])
All ports default to VID 1. All unassigned ports remain in VID 1.

Configure VLAN

We're creating three separate VLANs;

  • VID 100 (BCN)
  • VID 200 (SN)
  • VID 300 (IFN)

All ports default to VID 1. All unassigned ports remain in VID 1. 

# config terminal
## (config) vlan 100 name bcn
### (config-vlan-100) untag ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/10

Added untagged port(s) ethe 1/1/1 to 1/1/10 to port-vlan 100.

### (config-vlan-100) untag ethernet 2/1/1 to 2/1/10

Added untagged port(s) ethe 2/1/1 to 2/1/10 to port-vlan 100.

### (config-vlan-100) vlan 200 name sn
### (config-vlan-200) untag ethernet 1/1/11 to 1/1/14 ethernet 2/1/11 to 2/1/24

Added untagged port(s) ethe 1/1/11 to 1/1/14 ethe 2/1/11 to 2/1/24 to port-vlan 200.

Oops. Have to send some ports back to VID 1.

{{note|1=A port in VID 1 will simply change to the newly assigned VID. Ports in other VIDs need to be reset with no untag ... before re

Trunking

Passive Trunk

This is used when the connected switch does not support LACP.

Note: Configure with only one cable connected into the trunk ports.
  1. config terminal
    1. (config) trunk ethernet 1/1/24 ethernet 2/1/24
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy.
    1. (config) trunk deploy
    2. (config) write memory

Active Trunk

This is used if you can create an LACP on the client's switch.

Note: Configure with only one cable connected into the trunk ports.
  1. config terminal
    1. (config) interface ethernet 1/1/23 ethernet 2/1/23
    2. (config-mif-1/1/23,2/1/23) link-aggregate active
