Thanks Angelo, I quite like the idea of putting them in notepad and pasting
to all the switches, I prefer to get the VLANS config'd before applying
trunking etc, my only concern is shoud I config all the VLANs on ALL
switches.
ie, say we have vlan 12 and it is only used on switches 1 and 2 and is being
trunked between 1 and 2. Should I put vlan 12 on switches 3 and 4 as well,
will I lose points for this? If I can then this will save a lot of time,
else when doing labs I am finding it takes me ages to see which switch
supports which vlan.
