Lectures
in switch go to VLAN database, give it a number, and give it a name
switches must have same number and same name if they will be connected
VLAN: separating networks, creating a network within a network, can make any IP address you want in a VLAN
VLAN database: located on a switch, used to make VLAN, add number and description
to connect PCs to VLAN: go to each port, hit the number across from the access button, and select the number VLAN you want that port to access, and then connect the desired pc to that port
If you change a gigabit port from access to trunk, and select the VLANs you want that trunk to use, then a connection can be made across the VLAN between switches, assuming you've done so for both and connect them with a crossover cable
by using trunk ports and switches you can avoid using any routers besides accessing the internet, regardless of how many smaller networks you make
