5-6 CHAPTER 5: ADVANCED MANAGEMENT
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:
1Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
aPlace ports 1–6 and 13–18 of both Switch units
in VLAN 1.
bPlace ports 7–12 and 19–24 of both Switch units
in VLAN 2.
2Connect port 26 of the higher Switch to Server 1.
3Connect port 26 of the lower Switch to Server 2.
4Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
aPlace port 26 of the higher Switch in VLAN 2.
bPlace port 26 of the lower Switch in VLAN 1.
5Connect a port on the higher Switch to a port in
the lower Switch.
6Use the VT100 screens to specify that the
Switch-to-Switch port on the higher Switch is a
backbone port and a VLT port.
7Use the VT100 screens to specify that the
Switch-to-Switch port on the lower Switch is a VLT
port.
