Configure all switches
1. Enable STP
The default VLAN to which all ports belong by default, is a member of the
default STP. Enable the default STP on each switch using the command:
enable stp=default
VLAN example using untagged ports
The example in Figure 8-12 on page 8-62 has two VLANs using untagged
ports. Ports 1-3 belong to one broadcast domain, the marketing VLAN, and
ports 14-16 belong to another broadcast domain, the training VLAN. The switch
acts as two separate bridges: one that forwards between the ports belonging to
the marketing VLAN, and a second one that forwards between the ports
belonging to the training VLAN. Devices on ports 2 and 14 can only
communicate with each other by using the switch’s IP routing functions.
Figure 8-12: VLANs with untagged ports
Table 8-16 on page 8-63 shows the parameters used to configure this example.
Since there is only one switch and no loops in this topology, the Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) is not needed. This example assumes that the switch has factory
default settings.
