to quote a sage, what is the problem you ( or rather your customer ) is trying to solve? to be quite frank, if the customer is sufficiently educated so as to understand vlan tagging, the configuration is easy enough to do. other responses have given you some configurations, and some narrative. but I gotta say, if you don't understand the requirement, how will you know if what you do is correct, and accomplishes the desired goal? is this a 3550 SMI or EMI? if it is SMI, is the routed network a RIP network? are you leting the switch do the L3 stuff, leaving the 26xx as a gateway to the internet, for example? depending on your topology, you may not need to do anything to the 26xx. someone mentioned doing vlan trunking on the 26xx. while you can now do that on all models of the 26xx, if you have a 2610 or 2611, you still need a current IOS image to do so. does the switch in question connect ot other switches? is this the reason for the vlan trunking? users in the same vlan but on different switches? the "why" is more important than the "how" along with the good advice others have offered, I hope you will take siome time, read up, and ask your customer some questions so that you understand the desired result, thus making the configuration support that result. best wishes Hemingway > > Thanks > > Simon.
