  • Page 46 The port numbering for the 10/100 ports is as follows: Assuming the Layer 3 Services module resides in slot 2, the port numbering is 2/1 and 2/2 for the internal Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2/3 through 2/34 for the external 10/100 ports. All Layer 2 ports in the Catalyst 4000 switch follow this port numbering convention.
  • Page 47 Console> (enable) VTP Client Mode You cannot change the VLAN configuration on the switch when it is in VTP client mode. A switch in client mode receives VTP updates from a VTP server in the management domain and modifies its configuration accordingly.
  • Page 48 Configuring the Module for InterVLAN Routing VTP Transparent Mode Configure the switch as VTP transparent to disable VTP on the switch. A VTP transparent switch does not send VTP updates and does not act on VTP updates received from other switches. However, a VTP transparent switch running VTP version 2 does forward received VTP advertisements out all of its trunk links.

  • Page 53: Configuring Etherchannel

    Depending on your hardware, you can form an EtherChannel with up to eight compatibly configured Fast or Gigabit Ethernet ports on the switch. In addition, on the Catalyst 4000 family switches, you can configure an EtherChannel using ports from multiple modules. All ports in an EtherChannel must be the same speed.
  • Page 54 To create an EtherChannel port bundle, perform this task in privileged mode: Task Step 1 If you are unsure which ports you can configure as an EtherChannel, display the EtherChannel capabilities for the module or switch you are configuring. Step 2 Create an EtherChannel with the desired ports. Step 3 Verify the EtherChannel configuration.
  • Page 55 Option 1: Configuring Interfaces as Trunks (Recommended Option) This procedure shows you how to enable VLAN trunking on the two internal Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Enabling VLAN trunking requires you to configure the internal Gigabit Ethernet interfaces from the supervisor engine console as well as from the Layer 3 Services module console. When you enable trunking, you configure a subinterface for each allowed VLAN configured on the Catalyst 4000 Layer 3 Services module trunk.
