Figure 6-3: Two port-based VLANs spanning two BlackDiamond switches
VLAN Accounting spans System 1 and System 2 by way of a connection between
System 1, 29 and System 2, slot 3, port 1. VLAN Engineering spans System 1 and System
2 by way of a connection between System 1, port 32, and System 2, slot 7, port 1.
Using this configuration, you can create multiple VLANs that span multiple switches, in
a daisy-chained fashion. Each switch 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
switch.
