Background / Scenario
As the number of switches in a network increases, the administration necessary to manage the VLANs and
trunks can be challenging. To ease some of the VLAN and trunking configurations, trunk negotiation between
network devices is managed by the Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP), and is automatically enabled on Catalyst
2960 and Catalyst 3650 switches.
In this activity, you will configure trunk links between the switches. You will assign ports to VLANs and verify
end-to-end connectivity between hosts in the same VLAN. You will configure trunk links between the switches,
and you will configure VLAN 999 as the native VLAN.
Instructions
Part 1: Verify VLAN configuration.
Verify the configured VLANs on the switches.
a. On S1, go to privileged EXEC mode and enter the show vlan brief command to verify the VLANs that are
present.
Open confi
10 Red
20 Blue
30 Yellow
c. Verify the addition of the new VLANs. Enter show vlan brief at the privileged EXEC mode.
Question:
S2 E0/1
S3 E0/1 VLAN 10 (Red) 192.168.10.0 /24
S2 E0/2
S3 E0/2 VLAN 20 (Blue) 192.168.20.0 /24
S2 E0/3
S3 E0/3 VLAN 30 (Yellow) 192.168.30.0 /24
What messages did you receive on S1? How would you correct it?
g. On S2 and S3, configure VLAN 999 as the native VLAN.
h. Verify trunking is successfully configured on all the switches. You should be able ping one switch from
another switch in the topology using the IP addresses configured on the SVI.
i. Attempt to ping from PC1 to PC6.
Question:
Why was the ping unsuccessful? (Hint: Look at the ‘show vlan brief’ output from all three switches.
Compare the outputs from the ‘show interface trunk’ on all switches.)
j. Correct the configuration as necessary.
