Re: vlans

I think Cisco command line is all pretty much the same across their switches. Try this from the command line and in this order: (example only, your ports numbers are likely different but you'll get the idea.)


en
config t
vlan 10 (pick any number you want between 2-1001)
name blue (pick the name you want.)
vlan 20 (pick any number you want between 2-1001)
name yellow (pick the name you want.)
(hit control + c on your keyboard) This takes you back to global configuration mode.
show vlan brief (this will show that vlan 10 & vlan 20 were created. Please note that even though the Vlans were created that there's no ports assigned YET.)
config t
int F0/01 (FO/01 is the first port on my switch. I could use any port if I wanted to.)
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10

That's it. Port fa/01 is now assigned to VLAN 10. Just repeat the procedure to add ports to whatever VLAN you want.


NOTE: The Cisco router is defaulted to VLAN 1 and all ports are assigned to VLAN 1. You can't delete VLAN 1. All you can do is assign the ports to a different VLAN after you create a new VLAN.

I hope that made some sense.

Thanks, I'll check it out this weekend.
