ISL TaggingISL Tagging

• Performed with ASIC

• Not intrusive to client stations, client does not see the ISL header

• Effective between switches, routers and switches, switches and servers with ISL network interface cards

ISL trunks enable VLANs across a backbone

VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)

• A messaging system that advertises VLAN configuration information

• Maintains VLAN configuration consistency throughout a common administrative domain

• VTP sends advertisements on trunk ports only

• Support mixed media trunks (Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM)

How VTP WorksHow VTP Works

• VTP advertisements are sent as multicast frames

• VTP servers and clients synchronized to latest revision number

• VTP advertisement are sent every five minutes or when there is a change

• Increases available bandwidth by reducing unnecessary flooded traffic

• Example: Station A sends broadcast, broadcast is only flooded toward any switch with ports assigned to the red VLAN

VLAN Configuration Guidelines

VLAN Configuration Guidelines

• Maximum number of VLANs is switch-dependent

• Catalyst 1900 supports 64 VLANs with a separate spanning tree per VLAN

• VLAN1 is One of the factory default VLANs

• CDP and VTP advertisements are sent on VLAN1

• Catalyst 1900 IP address is in the VLAN1 broadcast domain

• Must be in VTP server or transparent mode to create, add, or delete VLANs


VLAN Configuration StepsVLAN Configuration Steps

• Enable VTP (optional)

• Enable trunking

•Create VLANs

•Assign VLAN to ports


• VTP domain name

• VTP mode (server/client/transparent)—VTP server mode is the default

• VTP pruning

• VTP password

• VTP trap

VTP Configuration GuidelinesVTP Configuration Guidelines

Use caution when adding a new switch into an existing domain. A new switch should be added in client mode to prevent the new switch from propagating incorrect VLANs information

Use the delete vtp command to reset the VTP revision number
