Trunk configuration

Hi all, today I’m going to configure Cisco Catalyst 3750 series switches inside the Forensics Lab. It’s going to be a really simple configuration to set up the trunk ports between the switches. We’re going to use a straight-thru network cable since the equipment is able to autosense the connection type and change its mdx configuration on a port (after setting up the port). Sweet feature. I already set up two other switches, this is switch three connecting from GigabitEthernet port 1/0/1 and /2 to other switches in the set up.

At the end looks like this:

Easy and really powerful, simple config on the switch. If you have a desire to read more about trunking:
