Catalyst 2950

[Pnun]

I have two sites on my campus - A and B. I have a catalyst 2950 at each site connected by fibre. How do I configure a port on site B's switch to only comunicate with one port on site A's switch?

Thanks

Well if you have the switches connected via ethernet and don't have any VLAN's setup, than the default will be all ports will see each other.

When you have only two clients nothings is to do. But this would not be normal;-))

Lets us assume that you have several clients on site a and b. Client 1 /site a should connect to client 2 / site B. The you configure on the port connected to the clients this:

conf t

vlan 2

name Datavlan

exit

inte fastethernet 0/1

switchport

switcport access vlan 2

switchport mode access

end

wr t

The connection between the client could configured as trunk:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/4

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode dynamic desirable

Switch(config-if)# end

Set all interface to no shut and you can works.

When you want you can more vlans on both sites:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# vlan 20

Switch(config-vlan)# name test20

Switch(config-vlan)# end

end

That you don't must create the vlans on both sites do this:

Switch A:

Switch# config terminal

Switch(config)# vtp mode server

Switch(config)# vtp domain name_vtp_domain

Switch(config)# end

Site B:

Switch# config terminal

Switch(config)# vtp mode client

Switch(config)# vtp domain name_vtp_domain

Switch(config)# end

Thanks Flunkert,

The whole story...

Site B has a internet connection that I would like to pipe to site A where our PIX resides. So I would need just one port at site B to communicate with just one port at Site A. These two ports should only be able to communicate with each other and that is it.

Does the above config do this for me?

Thanks
