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:
1Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
aPlace ports 1–6 and 13–18 of all the Switch 1000
units in VLAN 1.
bPlace ports 7–12 and 19–24 of all the Switch
1000 units in VLAN 2.
2Connect a port on each Switch 1000 to a port in
the Switch 3000 FX.
3Use the VT100 screens to:
aSpecify that each Switch 1000 port connected to
the Switch 3000 FX is a backbone port.
bSpecify that each Switch 1000 port connected to
the Switch 3000 FX is a VLT port.
cSpecify that each Switch 3000 FX port con-
nected to a Switch 1000 is a VLT port.
4Connect port 1 of the Switch 3000 FX to Server 1.
5Connect port 2 of the Switch 3000 FX to Server 2.
6Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
aPlace port 1 of the Switch 3000 FX in VLAN 1.
bPlace port 2 of the Switch 3000 FX in VLAN 2.

7Connect two spare ports on the Switch 3000 FX to
the router.
8Use 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.
