Figure 6-2: Single port-based VLAN spanning two switches
To create multiple VLANs that span two switches in a port-based VLAN, a port on
System 1 must be cabled to a port on System 2 for each VLAN you want to have span
across the switches. At least one port on each switch must be a member of the
corresponding VLANs, as well.
Figure 6-3 illustrates two VLANs spanning two switches. On System 1, ports 25 through
29 are part of VLAN Accounting; ports 21 through 24 and ports 30 through 32 are part of
VLAN Engineering. On System 2, all port on slot 3 are part of VLAN Accounting; all
ports on slot 7 are part of VLAN Engineering.
