To avoid subdividing VLANs, all inter-switch connections should be made members of all available 802.1Q
VLANs. This will ensure connectivity at all times. For example, the connections between Switches A and B, and
between Switches A and C should be 802.1Q tagged and carrying VLANs 1 and 2 to ensure connectivity.
See the “Configuring Virtual LANs” section for more information about VLAN Tagging.
