In this lab we configured 3 VLANS and connected 3 floors of PCs to a switch. I actually didn't run into any problems with this lab that I would have had to trouble shoot. I think VLANS are really interesting so I enjoyed seeing how it actually gets laid out. All the steps that I think would be helpful to note are part of the questions for the lab so I will note them below.

• Click on the switch
• Navigate to "VLAN Database" under the "Switching" tab
• Put in your VLAN number and name and click "add"

• Navigate to your interface within your switch, for example FastEthernet 0/0. Click on it.
• There should be a box with a drop down that as a default should say "access" if it doesn't, change it to access. Then click the drop down box that says "VLAN" and choose the number that corresponds with the VLAN you want to be able to access from that interface. For example in this lab I had VLAN # 10 ENG being accessed from fa 0/0.

• Navigate to an interface within your switch. For example GigabitEthernet0/1. Click on it.
• There should be a dropdown menu that says access, click on that and change it to Trunk.
• Go to the dropdown menu that has VLAN next to it. It should have all the VLANS you want on that trunk port checked off. Then you will see a range in that box. For example in this lab I included the default VLANs too so my range said 1-1005.

## Lab Pt. 2 In the second part of the lab we used what's called a "router on a stick" method. We connected the third floor switch to the router and configured the router so that we would be able to ping between VLANs. I didn't have any trouble with this lab and didn't really learn any new commands besides the encapsulation ones we had to use but since I don't know what those meant, I'm not going to talk about them.
