I managed to get some time in the lab today, configuring the layer 2 portion of Building A again. I have been able to configure a single VLAN (VLAN 10) on BAS1 configured as a VTP Server in the domain "BUILDING-A" as a test, in order to begin configuring VLAN information on Building A. VLAN 10 (STUDENT) was propagated across the network and was visible on both BA1S and BA2S. When Fast Ethernet ports 0/1 through 0/10 were configured with the command "switchport mode access" on both 2960 switches, they were ready to test layer 2 functionality. A single host was connected to FA0/1 on each 2960s, and assigned a static IP that coincided with the static IP address set on the interface VLAN 10 on BAS1. Although at this time, I am still reviewing my notes on configuring VLANs, but am hoping to use a mixture of router-on-a-stick and HSRP to get a redundant single gateway exiting Building A to the backbone network. With this configuration in mind, I was able to successfully get the two hosts separated by a single etherchannel link to ping using the statically assigned IP address.
The next step is to configure the other VLANs on this sub-network, and then look into internetworking the two building's in order to share VLAN and DHCP protocol information.
