vlans on 2 switches

Apr 03, 2006 3 Replies

I have scheme of network (switches Cisco 2950):



VLAN1 VLAN2 VLAN3 VLAN1 host1-------------switch1----------------switch2--------------host2


On every port of the switch is the VLAN on (like in scheme). And If host1 send ping to host2 the traffic will be blocked or not? Every switch have frame tag on.


I assume you have trunk links between the switches. When you want to ping to other VLANs, you have to use a router. You can't switch packets between VLANs, only route them between VLANs.

That means that this scheme will block all packets beetween switch1 and switch2?

Not if PC1 and PC2 are on the same VLAN and the switches are connected to eachother using a trunk line or a line that is on the same VLAN as PC1 and PC2
