Step 1: Configure trunking on S1 and use VLAN 99 as the native VLAN.Ī. In order to provide connectivity between the PCs on the same network and VLAN, trunks must be configured. This is because the ports connecting the switches are assigned to VLAN 1 by default. Step 2: Verify loss of connectivity between PCs on the same network.Īlthough PC1 and PC4 are on the same network, they cannot ping one another. On S2 and S3, display and verify all the VLANs are configured and assigned to the correct switch ports according to the Addressing Table. Notice how all 24 access ports on the switch are assigned to VLAN 1.ī. On S1, issue the command that will display all VLANs configured. This activity focuses on creating trunk ports, and assigning them to a native VLAN other than the default.Ī. A trunk port by default is a member of all VLANs therefore, it carries traffic for all VLANs. Access ports carry traffic from a specific VLAN assigned to the port. A port on a switch is either an access port or a trunk port.
Trunks are required to pass VLAN information between switches.
