Objectives
The simulator ticks each one as soon as the network meets it.
Create VLAN 10 on both switches.
Assign both host-facing access ports to VLAN 10.
Set the switch-to-switch ports to trunk mode.
Allow VLAN 10 on both trunk ports.
Ping PC2 from PC1 successfully.
Before you start
Host links use port 0 on each switch. The inter-switch link uses port 1. Create vlan 10 before assigning access ports.
Concept
VLANs and access ports
A VLAN splits one physical switch into separate broadcast domains. An access port belongs to exactly one VLAN, and frames are only forwarded between ports of the same VLAN.
Concept
802.1Q trunks: VLAN tags on the wire
A trunk carries many VLANs over one link. To keep them apart, the sending switch inserts a 4-byte 802.1Q tag into each frame saying which VLAN it belongs to; the receiving switch reads the tag and removes it before delivering the frame to an access port.
