Cisco Systems RJ-45-to-AUX

You should now see the Trunk A Configuration menu The next step is to enable trunking. To do so,

select [T] from the menu, as shown here:

Catalyst 1900 − Trunk A Configuration Menu

Trunking status: Off Encapsulation type: Unknown

—————————————————————— Information ———————————————————————————————————————————

Transmit Flood traffic to VLANs N/A

Receive Flood traffic from VLANs N/A

Allowed VLANs 1−1005

Pruning Eligible VLANs 2−1001

—————————————————————— Settings ———————————————————————————————————————————

[T] Trunking Off

—————————————————————— Actions ———————————————————————————————————————————

[S] List VLANs that Transmit Flood traffic

[R] List VLANs that Receive Flood traffic

[V] List Allowed VLANs

[F] List Pruning Eligible VLANs

[A] Add Allowed VLAN(s) [E] Add Pruning Eligible VLAN(s)

[D] Delete Allowed VLAN(s) [C] Delete Pruning Eligible VLAN(s)

[N] Next Trunk [P] Previous Trunk [X] Exit to Vlan Menu

Enter Selection: T

This command configures the state of this trunk.

[1] on − dictates that the port will always be a trunk.

[2] off − allows an operator to specify that the specified port is

never to be trunk, regardless of any dynamic mechanisms to the contrary.

[3] desirable is used to indicate that it is desirable for the

port to become a trunk. The device will initiate any negotiation

necessary to become a trunk but will not become a trunk unless it receives confirmation from other participants on the link.

[4] auto − is used to indicate that the port is capable and willing

to become a trunk but will not initiate trunking negotiations.

Other participants on the link are required to either start negotiations or start sending encapsulated packets, on which event the specified port will become a trunk.

[5] no−negotiate − dictates that the port will always be a trunk,

like the on(1) state. However, The port will neither generate

DISL frames nor process received DISL frames.

Trunking control state may be [1]On, [2]Off, [3] Desirable,

[4]Auto, [5]No−negotiate:

Current setting ===> Off

New setting ===> On

Now you want to pass the information through the specified trunk. You need to grant access to the

VLANs so they know which trunk to send their information through. We are allowing the default

VLAN (the management VLAN) and the newly created VLAN 2. To do so, select A from the Trunk

A Configuration menu and enter “1−2”:

12.

This command adds one or more VLANs to the allowed VLAN list for this trunk.

VLAN numbers should be separated by commas or spaces. A VLAN number range may also be specified. The word ALL indicates all VLANs.

Example: 1, 2, 10−20

Enter VLAN numbers [1−1005] : 1−2

That’s it. You completed the configuration.
