Creating VLANs on a switch Pretty straightforward... You first go into the switch Config tab... hit VLAN Database then add the VLAN number and name. Did this for VLAN 10 (ENG), 20 (MKT), and 30 (ACT) on all 3 switches. Every switch needs to know about the VLANs or it won't handle the traffic correctly especially over trunk links.

Configuring an Access Port Access ports are how you assign a specific port to a specific VLAN. So like if ENG-PC1 is plugging into Fa0/1, you go into that interface and set it to Access mode and assign it VLAN 10. The PC has no idea it's on a VLAN, the switch just handles it. Did this for all 3 ports on all 3 switches. Wasn't working for a bit for me because I had used the wrong port, checking them is key!

Also learned the hard way that you gotta make sure the cable is actually plugged into the GigabitEthernet port and not a FastEthernet port or the trunk won't work.
