Example of a port-based VLAN
For the members of the different IP VLANs to communicate, the traffic must be routed

means that each VLAN must be configured as a router interface with a unique IP
address.

To create a port-based VLAN that spans two systems, you must do two things:

• Cable the two systems together using one port on each BlackDiamond per VLAN.
