just a simulation that really need to get a sutable solution for it

hi all,

      all what i need to know is if i got 20 switches and a lot of departments and VOIP is included,  How many vlan's gonna be created and in which way?????

Please tell me the best solution for this quiz...

and please give me the solution in points cause im new in this problems

Lots of departments ,
is it a vlan for each department ?

example below for creating a vlan
conf t
vlan 2
name departmentA

You will also need trunk connections between the switches for the vlans to be able to pass
conf t
interface x/x
switchport mode trunk

[Botsha]

you didn't get me

all what i need to know is how many vlans gonna be created on the 20 switches

while there is also Voip on all vlans

and every switch got 24 port

and connect them to a server and also they all see each others

[Mark Malone]

We cant tell you how many vlans you need unless you provide more information ?? that's up to you and if each separate dept requires to be in a separate vlan then we need to know how many depts. there are so then you can say how many vlans you require per switch , if its the same l2 domain usually all vlans are on all switches but they may not be allowed pass the trunk in certain designs if the trunks are locked down with allowed vlans statement

You have left out the most important part the amount of departments and if they are using 1 vlan together or separate vlans

the voip vlan will be on every switch in same L2 domain but this also depends if you use vtp or if you manually create it and dont push it out everywhere like to only the switches that have phones , doesn't matter how many ports are on the switch its irrelevant

You have asked a question without giving enough information to build upon it

[Botsha]

ok there are about 40 departements and also they are having separate vlans

[Mark Malone · Accepted solution]

So then you need 41 vlans per switch , 1 vlan for each department and then the voice vlan will need to be on each switch too , you can just allow all vlans on the trunk for connections or just some if you dont wnat them all speaking to each other

use VTP create the vlans on 1 switch make it the VTP server and then other switches as VTP client so it passes all the vlans automatically to each switch so you dont have to manually create 800 vlans manually over the 20 switches
