HOW TO : 1 CONNECT TWO CISCO 3560 SWITCHES WITH NO CONFIG ON IT. 2 HOW TO LIMIT BANDWIDTH UTILIZATION ON EACH END USER CONNECTED PORT. 3 HOW TO CHECK TRAFFIC UTILIZATION ON EACH END USER CONNECTED PORT. 4 HOW TO RELAY DHCP ON ONE OF THE SWITCH.

Hello,

1. you can connect the switches with just the default configuration, everything will be in the default Vlan 1. You probably want to configure a management IP address in order to avoid having to console into every switch each time you need access

2. You can use the 'srr-queue bandwidth limit' command on each port to limit the bandwidth. The value is related to the speed of the interface. 

interface FastEthernet0/0

srr-queue bandwidth limit 50 --> this would limit the bandwidth to 50MB (50% of 100)

3. When you use the above, you can issue the command 'show mls qos interface [ interface-id ] [ buffers | queueing | statistics ] to view the utilization

4. DHCP is automatically relayed on all ports, you do not need any additional configuration for that. You might want to configure your access ports with 'spanning-tree portfast', otherwise the DHCP to the clients might not work...
