For each VLAN, you have to define it on the Switch Port, i.e., if you have 10 vlans, and you have a 12, 24, or 48 port module for module 6, than you need to decide your vlan assignment, and then make it so on a per port basis.
You won't assign an IP Address to the Switch Port, but you will assign VLAN 2 to say port 6/2, VLAN 3 to Port 6/3, etc. If you intend to route between VLANs, then you will either need the applicable route-switch-module for the model switch you are working with, or a router that supports the same trunking features as the switch (ISL or dot1q) On the router or the route-switch module, you will configure Sub-interfaces that will define the subnet, and vlan and what encapsulation type you are using for that vlan. Good luck on your studies.

Have say around 10 VLAN's all coming back to my CAT5k fastether net ports on say module 6. My Cat5k is the Core of my network, and as such is the VTP domain server. Forgive for the question if really stupid, however, do i need to configure for example module 6 port 1, as part as VLAN 10, using ip 192.168.10.1/24 using ISL ? And so on for every VLAN that comes back to my CAT5k ? Thanks all for your time, really appreciate it.
