Hi

I am doing a lab exercise in preparation for the BCMSN.

There is a 2950 access switch connected to two 3550 distribution
switches.

On the 2950, fa0/1 and fa0/2 are connected to 3550A and fa0/3 and fa0/4
are connected to 3550B.

At the moment, ports fa0/1 - 4 on the 2950 are in VLAN99.

The instructions are to -

i) Assign fa0/1 - 4 back to VLAN1.
ii) Turn on trunking on the ports connecting the 2950 and 3550's and
use 802.1Q trunking.

My response was;

i)

2950#conf t
2950(config)# interface range fa0/1 - 4
2950(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 1
2950(config-if-range)# switchport mode trunk
2950(config-if-range)# switchport trunk encap dot1q

and then

3550A#conf t
3550A(config)# interface range fa0/1 - 2
3550A(config-if-range)# switchport mode trunk
3550A(config-if-range)# switchport trunk encap dot1q

and also

3550B#conf t
3550B(config)# interface range fa0/1 - 2
3550B(config-if-range)# switchport mode trunk
3550B(config-if-range)# switchport trunk encap dot1q

The lab, however, states that it should be;

2950#conf t
2950(config)# interface range fa0/1 - 4
2950(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 1
2950(config-if-range)# switchport mode trunk
2950(config-if-range)# switchport nonegotiate

and then on both switches;

3550#conf t
3550(config)# interface range fa0/1 - 2
3550(config-if-range)# switchport mode trunk
3550(config-if-range)# switchport nonegotiate
3550(config-if-range)# switchport trunk encap dot1q

Which is correct, or is this just two ways of doing the same thing?

Thx

Different switches use different commands for creating vlans (i.e. vlan
database, vlan 2 name vlan2, switchport mode access, etc.)
Configuring Router subinterfaces is very important too.

If I remember well "switchport trunk encap dot1q" does not exist on a 2950.
