VLAN help

here is an example drawing i did quickly in paint, would this work correctly? providing all of the vlans are configured correctly, I am using catalysy 2950 switches, would the commands just be the regular commands for setting up vlans on 2950?

If I understand your question, no you couldn't do it that way. I would use VTP, one switch as a server, the others as clients, and then implement a switch port security policy.

(I am studding for the CCNA, and have booked to take the exam in 3 weeks, so I don't claim to be an expert, this is just my opinion. If I am wrong etc or if there is a better way let me know comments would be appreciated.)

Any other questions you may want to ask here:

Yeah.

You can do it with VTP, and prune unused VLANs, but it looks like you want to implement some security.

Well, the simple thing is just not assign any access ports to the undesired VLANs.

However, it would be even easier to just specify which VLANs are allowed across the trunk.

you can do this with or without VTP. if you are not using VTP you have to manually add each VLAN to each switch (but you knew that..right?). If you use VTP just prune the unwanted VLANs from the respective switch. but the idea using VTP and then not adding switchports to the unwanted VLANs would work too.

I just learned VTP i think i will probably be using VTP on the main central switch and then just not adding any switchports on the VLANS not in use on other switches

Thanks
