5-6 CHAPTER 5: ADVANCED MANAGEMENT
VLAN Configurati on Example
The example shown in Figure 5-5 illustrates two
VLANs spanning three Switch 1000 units and a
basement Switch 3000 TX unit. Each Switch 1000
connects to the basement Switch using a VLT. The
attached router allows the two VLANs to communi-
cate 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 TX.
3Use the VT100 screens to:
aSpecify that each Switch 1000 port connected to
the Switch 3000 TX is a backbone port. For more
information about backbone ports, refer to the
“SuperStack II Switch 1000 User Guide”.
bSpecify that each Switch 1000 port connected to
the Switch 3000 TX is a VLT port.
cSpecify that each Switch 3000 TX port con-
nected to a Switch 1000 is a VLT port.
4Connect port 1 of the Switch 3000 TX to Server 1.
5Connect port 2 of the Switch 3000 TX to Server 2.
6Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
aPlace port 1 of the Switch 3000 TX in VLAN 1.
bPlace port 2 of the Switch 3000 TX in VLAN 2.
7Connect two spare ports on the Switch 3000 TX to
the router.
8Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to
specify that one Switch 3000 TX port connected to
the router is placed in VLAN 1, and the other is
placed in VLAN 2.
You can set up this configuration more easily if you
use 3Com’s Transcend Enterprise Manager applica-
tions for all the management tasks.
