Multiple switches, 9 floors…VLAN per floor?

by don.brinkley . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

Hi, i’m new to the TechRepublic website and doing everything i can to learn more about VLANS and interconnecting the Cisco switches here at my job. I’ve recently taken over this responsibility and learning as i go. My question is: Currently we have one 6509 and 16 switches (3750’s), 9 floors, 2 switches per floor except on the 3rd floor where the 6509 is located. The switches each have 1 IP with the secondary switch attached using the stackwise cable. Currently we run one vlan for all the switches on every floor, what i’d like to do is break that down to one vlan per floor so that the 1st floor is VID 100, second VID 200, etc. I’m finding bits and pieces of how this is done and i know a little bit, but i guess my confusion is in the changes/adjustments that may need to be made on the 6509. It sounds fairly easy but it’s one of those things i need to research thoroughly before attempting as it’s a live network and want to make sure it’s as solid as possible before giving it a go. 🙂 Thanks for any and all responses!!
