Vlans,+STP,+and+Switching

Discussion and tables on VLANs, STP, and switch implementation.

There are 3 switches, each on separate floors. Each switch is configured for Trunking, STP, and VTP. The floor 2 and 3 switches have a redundant path to the floor 1 switch, which is pruned the STP (spanning tree protocol). Meaning, that if you remove or disconnect a cable from one of the switches, you will still be able to connect to all three. The VTP is set up, so if the server switch (floor 1) has any changes in one of the VLANs, it will update the other 2 switches (floor 2 and 3). Trunking, of course, is set up for the switches and VLANs to communicate between each other, as the FA 0/1 port on switch 1 is connected to a router with sub-interfaces, each sub interface corresponds to a different VLAN.
