Configuring VLAN – need help

by anishved . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I am a newbie to switching field. I got a job to configure 7 ports (gig0/39 – 46) of switch3 (Cisco 3560) for Vlan 610. This ports are already member of VLAN 320 which is default VLAN for this environment. Let me explain the scenerio

Switch 3 is connecting to Switch 1 which is eventually connecting to outside network which is Hospital site. Switch at hospital end is configured for VLAN 610 and is connecting at two ports of switch 1 at (gig 0/34 -35). Switch 3 is connected to switch 1 at ports (gig 0/47 -48). Default VLAN of Switch 1 is also VLAN 320. I need to make communication possible from switch 3 to hospital site.

After analysing network,

SW3

Ports 47-48 ? existing uplink to SW1

Ports 39-46 ? VLAN 610 (Need to Configure)

Ports 1-45 ? Remain in existing VLAN.

I telnet to Sw3 to configure ports 39-46 for vlan 610.
switch(conf t)# interface range gig 0/39-46
# switchport mode access
# vlan 610
It didnt configured properly and i noticed errors on interface after running show run command. I realize, i need to remove default vlan 320 first from port and then i can add vlan 610 to port. I run no vlan 320 at interfaces and what i see entire network goes down and i lost connection from switch. I attended onsite and restore config file to switch.

I still need to configure ports to make communication possible between switch3 and hospital site.

What i need to do to successfully achieve the goal?
Your help much appreciated. It is bit urgent… ManyThanks
