4.3.3 Configuring the Catalyst 5500 MPOA client
Here is how we have configured the Ethernet MPOA client in the Catalyst
5500 to set up a shortcut route to the IBM 8270 token-ring switch.
The configuration process has three major steps:
1. Creating a VLAN
2. Building the LAN Emulation Client
3. Configuring the MPOA client
4.3.3.1 Creating a VLAN
A Catalyst switch always belongs to a VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) domain.
We must name the VTP domain. This is accomplished using the
set vtp
domain cisco
command. The show command displays the defaults.
