VLAN Trunking Protocol

Configure VTP Server

We will first create a VTP Server so it can automatically propagate VLAN information to other switch. Double click on Switch1 and select CLI. Set hostname to S1 and create VTP domain name example and set password to vinita ( Remember password is case sensitive ). Switch 1
Switch>enable Switch#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)#hostname S1 S1(config)#vtp mode server Device mode already VTP SERVER. S1(config)#vtp domain example Changing VTP domain name from NULL to example S1(config)#vtp password vinita Setting device VLAN database password to vinita

Configure VTP clients

Once you have created a VTP domain. Configure remaining Switch to Client mode. Switch 2
Switch>enable Switch#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)#hostname S2 S2(config)#vtp mode client Setting device to VTP CLIENT mode. S2(config)#vtp domain example Changing VTP domain name from NULL to example S2(config)#vtp password vinita Setting device VLAN database password to vinita S2(config)#

Switch 3
Switch>enable Switch#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)#hostname S3 S3(config)#vtp mode client Setting device to VTP CLIENT mode. S3(config)#vtp domain example Changing VTP domain name from NULL to example S3(config)#vtp password vinita Setting device VLAN database password to vinita

Dynamic Trunking Protocol

Configure DTP port
All Switch ports remain by default in access mode. Access port can not transfer the trunk frame. Change mode to trunk on all the port those are used to interconnect the switches Switch 1
S1(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/24 S1(config-if)#switchport mode trunk %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface changed state to down %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface changed state to up S1(config-if)#exit S1(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 1/1 S1(config-if)#switchport mode trunk S1(config-if)#exit S1(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 1/2 S1(config-if)#switchport mode trunk %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface changed state to down %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface changed state to up S1(config-if)#exit S1(config)#

Virtual LAN (VLAN)

Create VLAN
After VTP server configuration its time to organize VLAN. We need only to create VLAN on VTP server and reset will be done by VTP Server automatically. Switch 1
S1(config)#vlan 10 S1(config-vlan)#exit S1(config)#vlan 20 S1(config-vlan)#exit S1(config)#

As we have already configure VTP server in our network so we don't need to create VLAN on S2 or S3. We need only to associate VLAN with port.

Assign VLAN membership

Switch 1
S1(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/1 S1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10 S1(config-if)#interface fastEthernet 0/2 S1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20

Switch 2
S2(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/1 S2(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10 S2(config-if)#interface fastEthernet 0/2 S2(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20

Switch 3
S3(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/1 S3(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10 S3(config-if)#interface fastEthernet 0/2 S3(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20

Now we have two working vlan. To test connectivity do ping form 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.3 and 10.0.0.4. if you get successfully replay then you have successfully created VLAN and VTP server.

Spanning-Tree Protocol
In this configuration STP will block these ports F0/24 of S1 , F0/23 and F0/24 of S2 and F0/24 of S3 to avoid loop at layer to two. Verify those ports blocked due to STP functions

Verify STP ports

Switch 2

You can test STP protocols status on S1 and S3also with show spanning-tree active command

Router on Stick
At this point of configurations you have two successfully running VLAN but they will not connect each other. To make intra VLAN communications we need to configure router . To do this double click on router and select CLI.

Configure intra VLAN

Router
Router>enable Router#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/0 Router(config-if)#no ip address Router(config-if)#no shutdown Router(config-if)#exit Router(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/0.10 Router(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1Q 10 Router(config-subif)#ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 Router(config-subif)#exit Router(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/0.20 Router(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1Q 20 Router(config-subif)#ip address 20.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 Router(config-subif)#exit

To test connectivity between different vlan do ping form any pc to all reaming pc. it should be ping successfully. If you have error download this configured topology and cross check that where you have committed mistake. Configured VLAN VTP STP topology

Make sure there is no space between the colon (:) and the characters vlan.dat. You can potentially erase the entire contents of the flash with this command if the syntax is not correct. Make sure you read the output from the switch. If you need to cancel, press ctrl+c to escape back to privileged mode: Moves to interface configuration mode. Removes port from VLAN 5 and reassigns it to VLAN 1the default VLAN. Moves to global configuration mode. Removes VLAN 5 from the VLAN database. Saves the configuration in NVRAM Puts the interface into permanent trunking mode and negotiates to convert the link into a trunk link. Changes the switch to VTP server mode. Changes the switch to VTP client mode. Changes the switch to VTP transparent mode. Returns the switch to the default VTP server mode. Configures the VTP domain name. The name can be from 1 to 32 characters long. Configures a VTP password .
