cheers mate works perfectly

<br />
create the vlan if it does not exist - type vlan x [x=integer]<br />
access the switchport interfaces - type int ge0/x [x=interface] <br />
apply settings for access port - type switchport access vlan x<br />
additional settings - type speed 10/100/1000 duplex full<br />
<br />
You can add a description as well nice for monitoring and troubleshooting.<br />
&nbsp;Also remember to create a trunk port and allow access for your vlan basically this trunk will connect your switches to other switches/routers<br />
<br />
switchport trunk allow access vlan x<br />
<br />
Look at this site for more details.<br />

Cisco Switch

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
