2 Catalyst 2950T and 3550 Series VTP Domain and VLAN Trunking

Objective
Configure a VLAN trunk between two Cisco Catalyst WS-C2950T-24-EI switches and a Cisco
Catalyst WS-C3550-24-EMI switch in the command-line interface (CLI) mode.

Scenario
VLANs must logically segment a network by function, team, or application regardless of the physical
location of the users. All end stations in a particular IP subnet are often associated with a specific
VLAN. Trunking or connecting switches and the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) are used to segment
the network. The VTP maintains configuration consistency by managing the addition, deletion, and
renaming of VLANs on the entire network from a single central switch. VTP minimizes configuration
inconsistencies that can cause problems such as duplicate VLAN names, incorrect VLAN-type
specifications, and security violations.

 The basic procedures for creating and maintaining trunks and VTP domains on the 2950T and 3550
switches are similar and specific differences will be addressed if necessary.

Step 1
Disconnect all cables to the switch, erase the startup configuration, erase the VLAN database, and
reload the switch if necessary.
Cable the network devices according to the diagram.
Use the information and procedures from the previous labs to do the following:
1. Name the switches DLSwitchA, ALSwitchA1, and ALSwitchA2 respectively.
2. Configure cisco as the secret, console, and vty password on all of the switches.
3. Assign the appropriate IP address to the Management VLAN 1 of each switch. Do not forget to
enable the interface with the no shutdown command.

Step 2
Recall that a VTP domain, which is also called a VLAN management domain, consists of one or
more trunked or interconnected switches that are under the administrative responsibility of a central
switch. A switch can only be in one VTP domain with the same domain name. The command-line
interface (CLI), Cluster Management Suite (CMS) software, or Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) can be used to make global VLAN configuration changes for a domain.
The default VTP mode for the 2950T and 3550 switches is the VTP Server mode. However, VLAN
information is not propagated until a domain name is specified and learned through trunked ports.
The following table describes the three VTP modes.

VTP Mode Description

This has a default VTP mode. VLANs can be created, modified, and
deleted. Other configuration parameters may be specified for all
switches in the VTP domain. VTP servers advertise VLAN
VTP Server configurations to other switches in the same VTP domain and
synchronize VLAN configurations with other switches based on
advertisements received over trunk links.
In the VTP Server mode, VLAN configurations are saved in NVRAM.

This behaves like a VTP server without the ability to create, change,
or delete VLANs.
VTP Client
In the VTP Client mode, VLAN configurations are not saved in
NVRAM.

Switches in the VTP Transparent mode do not participate in VTP.

The switch does not advertise its VLAN configuration and does not
synchronize its VLAN configuration based on received
advertisements. However, in VTP version two, transparent switches
VTP Transparent do forward VTP advertisements they receive from other switches
from their trunk interfaces. Therefore, local VLANs may be created,
modified, and deleted on a switch in the VTP Transparent mode.
In the VTP Transparent mode, VLAN configurations are saved in
NVRAM, but they are not advertised to other switches.

Issue a show vtp status command on any of the switches. The output should be similar to the
following sample for DLSwitchA.

Local updater ID is 10.1.1.250 on interface Vl1 (lowest numbered VLAN
interface found)

Since no VLAN configurations were made, all settings will be the defaults. Notice the VTP mode is
Server. The number of existing VLANs is the five built-in VLANs. The 3550 switch will support 1005
maximum VLANs locally. The 2950T switch will support 250. The Configuration Revision is zero and
the VTP version is two. All switches must run the same VTP version.
The importance of the Configuration Revision number is that the switch in the VTP Server mode with
the highest revision number will propagate VLAN information over trunked ports. Every time VLAN
information is modified and saved in the VLAN database or vlan.dat, the revision number is
increased by one when the user exists from the VLAN configuration mode.
Multiple switches in the VTP domain can be in the VTP Server mod. These switches can be used to
manage all other switches in the VTP domain. This is suitable for small-scale networks where the
VLAN information is small and easily stored in all switches. In a large network, the administrator
must determine which switches will make the best VTP servers. The network administrator should
set aside some of the more powerful switches and keep them as VTP servers. The other switches in
the VTP domain can be configured as clients. The number of VTP servers should be consistent
based on the amount of redundancy desired in the network.
Note: To remove or delete all local VLAN configurations and to reset the revision number to
zero, the VLAN database or vlan.dat needs to be deleted. The steps for deleting the VLAN
database were covered in the previous lab. Shut down the interfaces or disconnect all
cables. From the privileged mode prompt, run the delete flash:vlan.dat command
and reload the switch to replace the running configuration.

Step 3
Enter the following VTP domain name in DLSwitchA to begin the VTP configuration.

DLSwitchA#vlan database
DLSwitchA(vlan)#vtp domain corp
Changing VTP domain name from NULL to corp
DLSwitchA(vlan)#exit

Exiting....

Issue a show vtp status command to verify that the VTP domain name is corp, the VTP mode is
Server, and the Configuration Revision is zero as shown in the following sample output. Since only
the VTP operating mode and domain name were entered, the Configuration Revision is not affected
and is still zero.

VLAN information is not propagated until a VTP Domain Name is specified and learned through
trunked ports. The default settings for interfaces on the 2950T-24-EI and 3550-24-EMI switches are
to automatically trunk when cabled appropriately. Therefore, VTP automatically propagates the corp
VTP Domain Name to both ALSwitchA1 and ALSwitchA2.
Issue a show vtp status command on ALSwitchA1 and ALSwitchA2 to verify that the VTP

The respective ports have been automatically trunked and verified by the show vlan, show
interfaces FastEthernet 0/# switchport, and show interfaces trunk commands.
However, if a show running-config command is issued now, it will not show that the status of
the respective ports is trunk. The following sample outputs are for DLSwitchA and ALSwitchA1.

Step 4
Remember that more than one switch can exist in the VTP Server mode. However, for this lab
DLSwitchA will manage all switches in the VTP domain so its VTP mode will be left in the default
server mode. The VTP mode of ALSwitchA1 and ALSwitchA2 should be changed to the VTP Client
mode.

ALSwitchA1#vlan database
ALSwitchA1(vlan)#vtp client
Setting device to VTP CLIENT mode.
ALSwitchA1(vlan)#exit

The VTP Domain Name corp does not need to be entered since it is already propagated from
DLSwtichA.
Issue a show vtp status command on ALSwitchA1 and ALSwitchA2 to verify that the VTP mode
is client. The Configuration Revision is still zero on the three switches since only the VTP operating
mode was entered.

Step 5
VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 need to be created and named Accounting and Marketing. Ports should be
statically assigned to the respective VLANs. The VLAN configurations are only necessary on
DLSwitchA since it will manage the VTP domain and it is in the VTP Server mode.

DLSwitchA#vlan database

Issue a show vtp status command on one the switches. The Configuration Revision number will
now be increased from zero to one as shown in the following sample output for DLSwitchA.

DLSwitchA#show vtp status

Assign ports to the respective VLANs on DLSwitchA.

DLSwitchA#configure terminal
DLSwitchA(config)#interface range FastEthernet 0/5 – 8
DLSwitchA(config-if-range)#switchport access vlan 10
DLSwitchA(config-if-range)#interface range FastEthernet 0/9 – 10
DLSwitchA(config-if-range)#switchport access vlan 20
DLSwitchA(config-if-range)#^z

There is no need to assign the other ports to VLAN 1 since that is the default VLAN to which the
ports are assigned.
Issue the show vlan command on DLSwitchA to verify the configurations. The following sample
output will be shown.

 No VLANs were created locally on the ALSwitchA1 and ALSwitchA2. Why do VLANs 10 and 20
appear in the preceding output?

________________________________________________________________________________

Step 6
Use the following manual configurations to enable VTP so that VLAN configurations can be
managed and propagated from DLSwitchA if the ports did not automatically trunk:
• Enter the Ethernet trunk encapsulation type.
• Configure the FastEthernet 0/11 and FastEthernet 0/12 interfaces as trunk ports.
• Specify the native VLAN.
By default, interfaces on the 2950T-24-EI and 3550-24-EMI switches should automatically trunk
when cabled and propagate VLAN information after a domain name is entered in a VTP server
switch.
The 3550 switch supports three Ethernet trunk encapsulation types:
• Cisco proprietary InterSwitch Link protocol (ISL)
• IEEE 802.1q
• Negotiate or default – This specifies that the interface negotiates with the neighboring
interface to become an ISL, which is preferred, or 802.1q trunk. This depends on the
configuration and capabilities of the neighboring interface.
The 2950T switch does not support ISL. Since the 2950T switch only supports IEEE 802.1q, the
3550 switch automatically negotiates that encapsulation type through the trunk connection.
The Negotiation of Trunking is activated by default for both switches. As soon as there is a cable
connection, the switches establish a trunk link.
VLAN 1 is the Native VLAN by default so it is not necessary to configure it. VLANs other than VLAN
1 may be designated as the Native VLAN. However, the Native VLAN must be the same on trunked
switches in 802.1q trunking.
In 802.1q trunking, all VLAN packets are tagged on the trunk link to indicate the VLAN to which they
belong. The Native VLAN packets are sent untagged on the trunk link.
Although trunking has been automatically negotiated and established, the interfaces and native
VLAN should be configured manually. Enter the following configurations on DLSwitchA.

DLSwitchA#configure terminal
DLSwitchA(config)#interface range FastEthernet 0/11 - 12
DLSwitchA(config-if-range)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
DLSwitchA(config-if-range)#switchport mode trunk
DLSwitchA(config-if-range)#switchport trunk native vlan 1
DLSwitchA(config-if-range)#^z

ALSwitchA1 and ALSwitchA2 should also be configured properly. The FastEthernet 0/1 port should
be configured as a trunk port for ALSwitchA1 and ALSwitchA2. VLAN 1 should be designated as the
native VLAN, which must be the same on all trunk links. Ports need to be statically assigned to the
respective VLANs.

ALSwitchA1#configure terminal

Verify the configurations with various show commands on DLSwitchA. Sample outputs are provided
for comparison.
Issue the show vtp counters command.
