Hello,

I have an exam on Tuesday and I would like to know which colors to use to make a crossover cable for a trunk, to connect two switches together.

I already know that I need 4 cables, but after that I am not quite sure which colors to choose.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Thank you for your response Sisilia,

so if I understand correctly, I can take 2 times any pair as long as I find them on one side and then the other?

PS: Does the dot1q protocol serve for encapsulation as I believe at the time of configuring the router for the creation of sub-interfaces?
