multi vlan port _3560

dipok

Is the multi mode function available at the Catalyst 3560? Can a port be member of more than one vlan in 3560 switch?


How?

I tried this way:


switch 3560

interface fastethernet0/5
description multi vlan port
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 11,13,15
switchport mode trunk


VLan information:

vlan 11: 192.168.10.1/24
vlan 13: 192.168.20.1/24
vlan 15: 192.168.30.1/24

Now, when i connect, my pc on that port with either of the following ip address:

192.168.10.2
192.168.20.2
192.168.30.2


I cant ping the respective gateways.

From the switch console i can ping to every vlan but not the pc connected to the port.


How, from my pc i can ping to every vlan?

Your PC doesn't understand dot1q. Maybe you could use a trunking NIC?

Maybe something like this:

that supports 802.1q.

Thanks a lot. I did not knew there are such nick cards.

well, what if i want that all these three vlan's will be accessible through FastEthernet0/5? Will it be something like:



======3560=====(eg 2960 where the port facing fa0/5 is trunk)=====pc (which can access all the vlan)


simply I am looking for a technique that will allow me to access the vlan's trhough this port.



Thank you.

You don't need to spend that much to get dot1q-aware NIC, a basic Pro/1000 or even a Pro/100 would work.

you can also trunk in vmware in software

trunking is reallly just modifying the ethernet header to use a frame tag
this can be done in hardware or software.
isl uses (inserts) data in an unused field
and dot1q actually modifyies the ethernet frame and recalculates the crc
