Scaling the Switch Block
109
The additional information the switch wants you to configure is the
VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) information. (VTP and trunking is covered in
more detail at the end of this chapter, where we will continue with the 5000
switch VLAN configuration.) The 5000 series switch allows you to configure
as many ports as you wish to a VLAN at one time. However, the 1900 switch
allows you to configure only one interface at a time to a VLAN.
