Cisco:Basic Commands to setup vlan

Vlan Network Diagram

Trunking:
(1)Create trunk ports between 2 switch:
to setup trunk between port F0/11 and F012 of Switch S1
For Port F0/11

configure terminal
interface fastEthernet 0/11
switchport mode trunk
note : if upper commands say : command rejected  with error : Trunk encapsulation is Auto, then do the followings
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Now type again : switchport mode trunk

For Port F0/12

configure terminal
interface fastEthernet 0/12
switchport mode trunk
note : if it upper commands say ,  : command rejected  with error : Trunk encapsulation is Auto, then do the followings
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Now type again : switchport mode trunk

Set others ports a Access ports 1 to 10, then 13 to 23
configure terminal

 interface range fastEthernet 0/1-10
 switchport mode access
 
 interface range fastEthernet 0/13-23
 switchport mode access

How to view which ports are trunk for a switch :

show interfaces trunk

VTP :
(a) Configure VTP:

How to see VTP status :

 show vtp status

Setup VTP Domain

   configure terminal
   vtp domain MYDomain

(B) How to create vtp client
By default every switch is a vtp server. To make switch as VTP client:

configure terminal
vtp mode client

Configuring VLAN:

(3)How to view vlan information

show vlan

How to create vlan

 configure terminal
 vlan 10
exit
show vlan

How to assign a name to a vlan

 configure terminal
 vlan 10
 name SALES

How to assign port to vlan
example : we want to make pc ip : 192.168.1.50 which is connected to switch 3 via port F0/8 and we want to make this pc under vlan 10

From switch 3 :
 configure terminal
 interface fastEthernet 0/8
 switchport access vlan 10

How to routing between Vlan 10 and Vlan20 for subnet (192.168.20.0 and 192.168.10.0)(Router on a stick)
To routing between vlan , we need to create sub-interface inside a router(example router2)
For interface 1

configure terminal
interface FastEthernet0/0.10
 encapsulation dot1Q 10
 ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

For interface 2

configure terminal
interface FastEthernet0/0.20
 encapsulation dot1Q 20
 ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0

It will create 2 interface like bellow :

R2#show ip interface brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol

FastEthernet0/0 192.168.1.2 YES manual up up

FastEthernet0/0.10 192.168.10.1 YES manual up up

FastEthernet0/0.20 192.168.20.1 YES manual up up

FastEthernet0/1 192.168.2.1 YES manual up up
R2#
