Configur ing VLAN Trunks
In thi s way, Trunk 1 c a rrie s tr affic for V LAN s 8 thr oug h 1 0, a nd Trunk 2 car rie s tra ffic for VLA Ns 3
through 6. If the active trunk fails, the trunk with the lower priority takes over and carries the traffic for
all of t he V LAN s. No dup lic a tion of t r affic occurs over any tr unk po rt.

Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter glob al co nfiguration mo de on Switch 1.
Step 2 vtp domain domain-name Configure a VTP administrative domain.
The dom ain nam e can be from 1 to 32 char acte rs.
Step 3 vtp mode server Configure Switch 1 as the VTP server.
Step 4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 show vtp stat us Verify th e VTP configuration on bot h Switch 1 an d Switch 2.
In the display, check the VTP O perating Mode and the VTP Domain
Name fi e l ds .
Step 6 show vlan Verify that the VLANs exist in the database on Switch 1.
Step 7 configure terminal Enter glob al co nfiguration mo de.
Step 8 interface fas t et hern et 0 /1 Enter int erfac e configuratio n mode , and de fine Fast Ether ne t port 0/1
as the interface to be configured as a trunk.
Step 9 switchport mode trunk Configure the port as a trunk port.
Step 10 end Return to privilege EXEC mode.
Step 11 show interfaces fastethernet0/1
switchport Verify the VLAN configuration.
Step 12 Repeat Steps 7 throu gh 11 on Sw itch 1 fo r Fast E ther net port 0 /2.
Step 13 Repeat Steps 7 through 11 on Switch 2 to configure the trunk ports on
Fast Ethernet ports 0/1 an d 0/2.
Step 14 show vlan When the trunk l inks come up, VT P passes the VTP and VLAN
information to Switch 2. Verify that Switch 2 has learned the VLAN
configuration.
