Objective
VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) reduces administration in switched networks.
When you configure a new VLAN on one VTP server, the VLAN is distributed
through all switches in the domain. This reduces the need of configuring the
same VLAN everywhere. VTP is a Cisco-proprietary protocol that is available
on most of the Cisco Catalyst Family products. In this lab you will troubleshoot
some basic VLAN trunking problems with VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol).
Scenario
This is not part of the International Travel Agency network.
As the Enterprise Network Administrator, you have a large switched network
that is all in the same VTP domain. Your network administrator added a new
2900XL-Enterprise switch to the network. The first connected client to the new
switch is from the Accounting Department (VLAN 10). He indicates immediately
that he is not able to reach any network resources. The administrator indicated
that he did issue the command “switchport access vlan 10” on FastEthernet
port 0/1, which is the port the Accounting member is connected to, and also
verified that both the links (FastEthernet 0/1 and FastEthernet 0/12) indicate a
green connection light on the 2900. FastEthernet 0/12 is designated as the up-
link trunking port.
