Can i create another VLAN ? If so Can i assign a certain ports to one VLAN ? Let's say i want 6 port for one VLAN and the rest of ports for other VLAN.
Thanks.

What model switch?

 

[cisco99999]

WS-C2950-24

Thanks

Oh sorry, I overlooked it in the subnet line. Yes you can create another vlan, but you must have a layer 3 device to route between the vlans.

switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# vlan 20

Switch(config-vlan)# name test20

Switch(config-vlan)# end


To configure the port in the vlan

switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# int f0/1

Switch(config-vlan)# switch access vlan 20

brian---don't you have to do
switch(config-if)#switchport mode access
on layer 2 switches?

Burst,

What does that command do ?

Thanks

 

[brianinms]

Good catch burt.

 

[burtsbees]

That command sets the switchport into access mode for vlans on a layer 2 switch. By default, it is simply a switchport. On a layer three switch (example 3560), the switchports are in switchport mode access by default.

By default the ports are dynamic desirable and are technically access ports unless you connect a port to a another switch which has a port as desriable or auto at which point a trunk will be created . Access mode just keeps the port from trunking but really doesn't have to be on there for a user port.

 

[burtsbees]

Even in layer 2 switches?

Hi Burt,

Whenever you have time, will you post configuration of switch 2950 for load balance of 2 servers ?
