Example 2
The example shown in Figure 5-6
illustrates two
VLANs spanning two Switch 1000 units. VLAN 1 is
able to talk to VLAN 2 using the connection
between each VLAN and the router. Ports within the
same VLAN but on different Switches communicate
using the VLT.
To set up this configuration:
1
Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
a
Place ports 1–6 and 13–18 of both Switch units
in VLAN 1.
b
Place ports 7–12 and 19–24 of both Switch units
in VLAN 2.
2
Connect port 26 of the higher Switch to Server 1.
3
Connect port 26 of the lower Switch to Server 2.
4
Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
a
Place port 26 of the higher Switch in VLAN 2.
b
Place port 26 of the lower Switch in VLAN 1.
5
Connect a port on the higher Switch to a port in
the lower Switch.
6
Use the VT100 screens to specify that the
Switch-to-Switch port on the higher Switch is a
backbone port and a VLT port.
7
Use the VT100 screens to specify that the
Switch-to-Switch port on the lower Switch is a VLT
port.
