Port config to Layer 2 ISP cirtcuit

Mokhalil82

Hi

We have had a layer 2 national Ethernet link installed between 2 of our sites with a circuit presented to us at each site by the ISP. We will be trunking 3 or 4 vlans over it. I am just thinking about the port configs on each end on the switches. Should the layer 2 link be treated as any layer two link configured as a trunk on the switchports at each end with specific vlans allowed or is there any special config required I don't know about.

 

Thanks

Hi,

It should be the same as any other physical link you have.  So, you can add as many vlans you need or just trunk the ports on each side.

Create the trunk port but also include the command 'switchport trunk allowed vlan ##'
