I am writing this article to answer the question for establishing the trunking between a
Cisco Catalyst Switch and a 3Com Super Stack Switch in ITKE community.
The goal of the article is show the user how to configure an inter operable trunk port in
both Cisco and 3 Com Switch. As far as trunking concepts are concerned I did posted an
article in ITKE blog comparing the HP Procurve and a Cisco Catalyst Switches which help to
understand the trunking methodologies applied in 3 Com and Cisco Switches.
In order understand the configuration process easily I present a scenario, based on this
scenario we will configure the Cisco and 3 Com Switches to meet the objectives.
In this example
A Cisco Catalyst Switch is connected to a 3-Com Super Stack 4200 Switch (3-
Com Super stack 3300 configuration is also available as the configuration process
defers in a 3300 Switch)) using a port fast /Giga Ethernet 1 in both the Switches.
Create two VLANS locally in both the Cisco Catalyst Switch and a 3-Com Super
Stack 4200.
1.
2.
Configure fast Ethernet 0/1 on both the Cisco Catalyst Switch and a 3-Com
Task 3 Configure the ports fastethernet 0/5 for VLAN 100 and fastethernet
0/10 for VLAN 200.
ITKE-Cisco(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/5
ITKE-Cisco(config-if)#description Connected to PC
ITKE-Cisco(config-if)#switchport mode access
ITKE-Cisco(config-if)#switchport access vlan 100
Task 3 Configure the ports Giga Ethernet 0/5 for VLAN 100 and Giga
Ethernet 0/10 for VLAN 200
