As a lot of other people, I need to create a vlan trunk from 3com switch to Cisco 4503.
I have a subnet the switch is only routing to at the momment. I want to add the subnet on the switch as a VLAN and let the Vlan ip address be the defualt gatewway of the users on the 3Com.
At the moment , the users have a router on a stick that is passing traffic to the 4503 switch.
My questions are:
1. When creating the vlan on the cisco, can the only member of the vlan be the trunk port from the 3com?
I have done this and the vlan interface never comes up, it stays down/down.
2. If the only users at the other end of the trunk on the Cisco are in the same subnet (basically just uplinking the 3com to the Cisco), can't I just have the trunk carry the single VLAN?
Does that vlan have to be the native vlan?
3. If I creat a vlan 6 (example) and try to configure a single port as the trunk port, is there any danger of the switch traffing being taken down if everyone is in the default Vlan1?
