Configure all inter-switch links on SW2, SW3, and SW4 to be in dynamic auto state and configure all inter-switch links on SW1 to be in dynamic desirable state.

SW1:
interface range FastEthernet0/13 - 21
switchport mode dynamic desirable
SW2:
interface range FastEthernet0/13 - 21
switchport mode dynamic auto
SW3:
interface range FastEthernet0/13 - 21
switchport mode dynamic auto
SW4:
interface range FastEthernet0/13 - 21
switchport mode dynamic auto

Verification:Using the CAM table verify that all layer 2 traffic between devices in the same VLAN, but not attached to the same switch, is transiting SW1.
