Chapter 11 Configuring VLAN Trunks on Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Example VLAN Trunk Configurations
1/2 10 blocking 19 32 disabled
1/2 20 blocking 19 32 disabled
1/2 30 blocking 19 32 disabled
1/2 40 blocking 19 32 disabled
1/2 50 blocking 19 32 disabled
1/2 60 blocking 19 32 disabled
1/2 1003 not-connected 19 32 disabled
1/2 1005 not-connected 19 4 disabled
Switch_1> (enable)
Step 8
Divide the configured VLANs into two groups. You might want traffic from one-half of the VLANs to
go over one trunk link and one half over the other trunk link; or if one VLAN has heavier traffic, you
can have traffic from that VLAN go over one trunk and traffic from the other VLANs go over the other
trunk link.
VLANs 10, 20, and 30 (Group 1) are forwarded over Trunk 1, and VLANs 40, 50, and 60 (Group 2) are
forwarded over Trunk 2.
Step 9
On Switch 1, enter the set spantree portvlanpri command to change the port-VLAN priority for the
Group 1 VLANs on Trunk 1 (port 1/1) to an integer value lower than the default of 32.
Switch_1> (enable) set spantree portvlanpri 1/1 1 10
Port 1/1 vlans 1-9,11-1004 using portpri 32.
Port 1/1 vlans 10 using portpri 1.
Port 1/1 vlans 1005 using portpri 4.
Switch_1> (enable) set spantree portvlanpri 1/1 1 20
Port 1/1 vlans 1-9,11-19,21-1004 using portpri 32.
Port 1/1 vlans 10,20 using portpri 1.
Port 1/1 vlans 1005 using portpri 4.
Switch_1> (enable) set spantree portvlanpri 1/1 1 30
Port 1/1 vlans 1-9,11-19,21-29,31-1004 using portpri 32.
Port 1/1 vlans 10,20,30 using portpri 1.
Port 1/1 vlans 1005 using portpri 4.
Switch_1> (enable)
Step 10
On Switch 1, change the port-VLAN priority for the Group 2 VLANs on Trunk 2 (port 1/2) to an integer
value lower than the default of 32.
Switch_1> (enable) set spantree portvlanpri 1/2 1 40
Port 1/2 vlans 1-39,41-1004 using portpri 32.
Port 1/2 vlans 40 using portpri 1.
Port 1/2 vlans 1005 using portpri 4.
Switch_1> (enable) set spantree portvlanpri 1/2 1 50
Port 1/2 vlans 1-39,41-49,51-1004 using portpri 32.
Port 1/2 vlans 40,50 using portpri 1.
Port 1/2 vlans 1005 using portpri 4.
Switch_1> (enable) set spantree portvlanpri 1/2 1 60
Port 1/2 vlans 1-39,41-49,51-59,61-1004 using portpri 32.
Port 1/2 vlans 40,50,60 using portpri 1.
Port 1/2 vlans 1005 using portpri 4.
Switch_1> (enable)
Step 11
On Switch 2, change the port-VLAN priority for the Group 1 VLANs on Trunk 1 (port 1/1) to the same
value that you configured for those VLANs on Switch 1.
Caution
The port-VLAN priority for each VLAN must be equal on both ends of the link.
Switch_2> (enable) set spantree portvlanpri 1/1 1 10
Port 1/1 vlans 1-9,11-1004 using portpri 32.
Port 1/1 vlans 10 using portpri 1.
Port 1/1 vlans 1005 using portpri 4.
