Configuring VTP Pruning on a Set/Clear CLI Switch
Enabling pruning on a VTP server enables pruning for the entire domain, which is by default VLANs 2 through 1005. VLAN 1 can never prune.
Before you can set a VLAN to be eligible for VTP pruning, you should go to the switch to see what the available syntaxes are for the command:
5002> (enable) set vtp pruneeligible ?
Usage: set vtp [domain <name>] [mode <mode>] [passwd <passwd>] [pruning <enable|disable>] [v2 <enable|disable>
(mode = client|server|transparent Use passwd '0’ to clear vtp password) Usage: set vtp pruneeligible <vlans>
(vlans = 2..1000 An example of vlans is 2−10,1000)
Now, let’s set VLAN 2 to become eligible for VTP pruning so switches that do not use VLAN 2 will not receive VLAN 2’s broadcast traffic on their trunk links:
5002> (enable) set vtp pruneeligible 2
Vlans 2−1000 eligible for pruning on this device. VTP domain Coriolis modified.
Disabling Pruning for Unwanted VLANs
To disable pruning for VLANs that are not used or that you do not wish to prune, use the following command:
5002> (enable) clear vtp pruneeligible 3−1005 Vlans 1,3−1005 will not be pruned on this device. VTP domain Globalnet modified.
5002> (enable)
Configuring IP InterVLAN Routing on an External Cisco Router
In order to understand this section, you should be familiar with Cisco IOS software running on Cisco routers. In this demonstration, we will configure a Cisco 7505:
1.To enable IP routing on the router, enter Global Configuration mode and use the ip routing command:
7505#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. 7505 (config)#ip routing
112
2.Specify an IP routing protocol such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Internet Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), or Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP) and identify the network:
Cisco7505(config)#router rip
Cisco7505(config−router)#network 192.1.0.0
3.Create a subinterface on a physical interface in Interface Configuration mode for the port connected to the switch:
7505(config−router)#interface fastethernet2/0.100
4. Specify the encapsulation type and VLAN number to use on the subinterface:
7505(config−subif)#encapsulation isl 100
5. Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the subinterface:
7505(config−subif)#ip address 192.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
6.To configure any other interfaces, repeat Steps 3 through 5 for each VLAN between the switches that you want to route traffic:
7505(config−router)#interface fastethernet2/0.200 7505(config−subif)#encapsulation isl 200 7505(config−subif)#ip address 192.1.2.3 255.255.255.0
Configuring IPX InterVLAN Routing on an External Router
In order to understand this section, you should be familiar with Cisco IOS software running on Cisco routers. In this demonstration, we will configure a Cisco 7505:
1.To enable IP routing on the router, enter Global Configuration mode and use the ipx routing command:
7505#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. 7505(config)#ipx routing
2. Specify an IPX routing protocol, such as RIP, and identify all the networks:
Cisco7505(config)#ipx router rip
Cisco7505(config−router)#network all
3.Create a subinterface on a physical interface in Interface Configuration mode for the port connected to the switch:
7505(config−router)#interface fastethernet2/0.1
4. You must specify the encapsulation type and VLAN number to use on the subinterface:
7505 (config−subif)#ipx encapsulation isl 1
5.Assign a network number to the subinterface and identify an encapsulation type for IPX, such as snap, novell−ether, arpa or sap:
7505(config−subif)# ipx network 1 encapsulation sap
6.To configure any other interfaces, repeat Steps 3 through 5 for each VLAN between the switches you want to route traffic:
7505(config−subif)#interface fastethernet2/0.2 7505(config−subif)#encapsulation isl 2 7505(config−subif)#ipx network 2 encapsulation sap
