Thanks Brian, what about vlans, would you do the trunking section, vtp and
then add vlans. I was thinking of adding in all vlans via notepad to each
switch then trunk, then vtp?
Onlu I am uncertain as to wether all switches should have all vlans
configed, sure would save time, but may be overconfiguration...
