Figure 4-3:
Two port-based VLANs spanning two BlackDiamond systems
VLAN Accounting spans System 1 and System 2 by way of a connection between Switch
1, slot 1, port 6 and Switch 2, slot 3, port 1. VLAN Engineering spans Switch 1 and
Switch 2 by way of a connection between Switch 1, slot 8, port 6 and Switch 2, slot 7,
port 1.
Using is configuration, you can create multiple VLANs that span multiple systems, in a
daisy-chained fashion. Each BlackDiamond must have a dedicated port for each VLAN.
Each dedicated port must be connected to a port that is a member of its VLAN on the
next BlackDiamond.
