Virtual LANs (VLANs) 5-7
Example 3
The example shown in Figure 5-7
illustrates two
VLANs spanning three Switch 1000 units and a
basement Switch 3000 FX with a Plug-in Module.
Each Switch 1000 connects into the basement
Switch using a VLT. The attached router allows the
two VLANs to communicate with each other.
To set up this configuration:
1
Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
a
Place ports 1–6 and 13–18 of all the Switch 1000
units in VLAN 1.
b
Place ports 7–12 and 19–24 of all the Switch
1000 units in VLAN 2.
2
Connect a port on each Switch 1000 to a port in
the Switch 3000 FX.
3
Use the VT100 screens to:
a
Specify that each Switch 1000 port connected to
the Switch 3000 FX is a backbone port.
b
Specify that each Switch 1000 port connected to
the Switch 3000 FX is a VLT port.
c
Specify that each Switch 3000 FX port con-
nected to a Switch 1000 is a VLT port.
4
Connect port 1 of the Switch 3000 FX to Server 1.
5
Connect port 2 of the Switch 3000 FX to Server 2.
6
Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
a
Place port 1 of the Switch 3000 FX in VLAN 1.
b
Place port 2 of the Switch 3000 FX in VLAN 2.

7
Connect two spare ports on the Switch 3000 FX to
the router.
8
Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to
specify that one Switch 3000 FX port connected to
the router is placed in VLAN 1, and the other is
placed in VLAN 2.
