Im grafting so quantity over quality… I will go over this sometime this coming weekend for mistakes
This lab builds directly onto the previous lab where the default VLAN was shut and a new VLAN was created (basically to give practice for creating a vlan). This lab will now create trunk links between switches to allow more than a single VLANs information to traverse a link. If you are wondering why I am explicitly declaring trunks instead of allowing DTP to do its thing read this, and this.
Distribution Switch 1
Step 1: Setup the basics all of the following is CCNA level stuff and should easy if not second nature. This is to get the security and host name down before going onto the interface configuration.
Enter Privileged Mode
switch>enable
Enter Global Configuration Mode
switch#configure terminal
Change the hostname of the switch
switch(config)#hostname DSW1
Enable secret and password
DSW1(config)#enable secret ciscosystems
DSW1(config)#enable password cisco
Setup a local user database
DSW1(config)#username admin@mydomain.com privilege 15 password cisco
Setup the console port password
DSW1(config)#line con 0
DSW1(config-line)#login local
DSW1(config-line)#exit
Setup the Virtual Teletype Terminal (VTY) Password
DSW1(config)#line vty 0 4
DSW1(config-line)#password cisco
DSW1(config-line)#login
DSW1(config-line)#exit
Setup the Auxiliary Password
DSW1(config)#line aux 0
DSW1(config-line)#no exec
DSW1(config-line)#exit
Step 2: Setup the management interface
Setup the default VLAN ip address from remote ip admin if there was a GUI and to Telnet to the switch
DSW1(config)#interface vlan 1
DSW1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
NB I am shutting the interface
DSW1(config-if)#shut
DSW1(config-if)#exit
Step 3: Assign an ip address to the new VLAN to ping
Setup VLAN 100 ip address from remote ip admin if there was a GUI and to Telnet to the switch
DSW1(config)#interface vlan 100
DSW1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0
DSW1(config-if)#no shut

DSW1(config-if-range)#shut
DSW1(config-if-range)#exit
Exit Global Configuration Mode
DSW1(config)#exit
Step 6: Check your work
Check that you named the interfaces correctly, havent missed out on a connected interface and that the duplex and speed setting are correct

DSW1#show interface fasthethernet 0/4 switchport
show which interfaces are trunking
DSW1#show interfaces trunk
show run the running configuration

Notes and Notices:
This is a part of my personal BCMSN notes and research to assist myself in learning and understanding the concepts and theory for the BCMSN exam. I learn by making notes reading and writing things down and wish to file them where I can’t lose them. These notes are not to be seen, judged or mistaken for replacements to Cisco recognized and authorized training which I personally support and attend and suggest you undertake if you are going for the BCMSN Certification.
