VLAN Configuration Lab Guide

This document provides instructions for a lab experiment on basic VLAN configuration, including cabling a network according to a topology diagram, configuring switches to create VLANs and assign ports, configuring trunks between switches, and testing connectivity between VLANs by pinging different hosts. Students are asked to perform tasks like configuring switch IP addresses and interfaces, creating VLANs on switches and assigning ports, and changing a PC's IP address to test connectivity between VLANs.
