Dani nodded, eyes fixed on the Cisco switch. "Trunking is up on GigabitEthernet0/1. I’ve allowed both VLANs, but Kliba, I’m not seeing any traffic from your side of the floor."
The hum of the server room was the only sound as Julen, Dani, and Kliba hovered over their workstation. They had one goal for the afternoon: segment the network using VLANs before the final lab check. RELO_08_05_05_Practica_Vlan_Julen_Dani_Kliba_SW...
"Alright," Julen said, his fingers flying across the mechanical keyboard. "I’m creating VLAN 10 for Sales and VLAN 20 for Engineering. Dani, are the trunk ports ready?" Dani nodded, eyes fixed on the Cisco switch
Kliba frowned, checking the patch cables. Everything looked secure, but the "ping" requests were timing out. "It’s a mismatch," Kliba realized. "The native VLAN on the switch doesn't match the router configuration. We’re dropping packets into a black hole." They had one goal for the afternoon: segment
The three shared a quick high-five. The network was segmented, secure, and—most importantly—functional. With the lab complete, they saved the configuration and headed out, leaving the flashing green lights of the SW (Switch) behind them.
Working together, they re-synchronized the IDs. Dani adjusted the switchport modes, while Julen reconfigured the sub-interfaces on the router. "Try it now," Julen whispered.
