Overview of Virtual LANs 5-5

Figure 5-3 illustrates two VLANs spanning two Switches. On Switch 1,

ports 1–16 are part of VLAN Accounting; ports 17–24 are part of VLAN

Engineering. On Switch 2, ports 1–16 are part of VLAN Accounting;

ports 17–24 are part of VLAN Engineering. VLAN Accounting spans

Switch 1 and Switch 2 by way of a connection between Switch 1 port

11 and Switch 2 port 6. VLAN Engineering spans Switch 1 and Switch

2 by way of a connection between Switch 1 port 19 and Switch 2 port

20.

Figure 5-3 Two port-based VLANs spanning two Switches

Using these steps, you can create multiple VLANs that span multiple

Switches, in a daisy-chained fashion. Each Switch must have a

dedicated port for each VLAN. Each dedicated port must be connected

to a port that is a member of its VLAN on the next Switch.

To avoid the creation of a bridging loop, you must conﬁgure the VLANs

prior to cabling the ports.
