Steps to configure VLAN's with Trunking

[dianewalker]

We have Cisco 6509 with firewall module installed.  Can you tell me the steps to configure VLANs with trunking?

Thanks.

You have just asked this already in this same forum and received an answer. Why have you started a new post asking the same thing ?

Hello Diane,

The FWSM is a fabric enabled catalyst 6500/7600 module comprised primarily of two elements, a PC complex and a daughter Network Processors.

The switch software automatically bundles them together and creates a 802.1 Q trunking etherchannel connection with a  fwsm installed.

sh etherchannel summary

sh firewall module state | include trunk would show you the details

Again the loadbalancing is been selected by the user and a session-based hash-algorith is been used

port-channel loadbalance -- would help you

Since the trunking is been already created no need to create a new one,

so to do this, simply assign the vlans to the FWSM on the switch in  question with the switch fwsm commands
