Trunking question

Sep 14, 2007 1 Replies

Hi there,



I am a newbie so forgive my ignorance. I have come acroos 5 switches (3550's) that are all daisy chained via their gig ports. I am going to introduce 3 new vlans as there is only vlan 1. Would and could i trunk the gig ports to allow the vlan traffic to traverse the switches to the router or would i trunk fa ports?



Sorry if this is a dumb question, but hey i didn't say i was bright :)



Thanks for any help.


Regards Andrew.



Are you sure they are not already trunking? 3550's in their default configuration will form trunks with each other, Do a show interface trunk command to see if you have interfaces trunking and what VLANs are allowed on the trunks.
