Component

Description

 

 

G8124 switch

This switch is configured with three VLANs that represent three different IP

 

subnets. Five ports are connected downstream to servers. Two ports are

 

connected upstream to routing switches. Uplink ports are members of all

 

three VLANs, with VLAN tagging enabled.

 

 

Server 1

This server is a member of VLAN 1 and has presence in only one IP subnet.

 

The associated switch port is only a member of VLAN 1, so tagging is

 

disabled.

 

 

Server 2

This server is a member of VLAN 1 and has presence in only one IP subnet.

 

The associated switch port is only a member of VLAN 1, so tagging is

 

disabled.

 

 

Server 3

This server belongs to VLAN 2, and it is logically in the same IP subnet as

 

Server 5. The associated switch port has tagging disabled.

 

 

Server 4

A member of VLAN 3, this server can communicate only with other servers

 

via a router. The associated switch port has tagging disabled.

 

 

Server 5

A member of VLAN 1 and VLAN 2, this server can communicate only with

 

Server 1, Server 2, and Server 3. The associated switch port has tagging

 

enabled.

 

 

Enterprise

These switches must have all three VLANs (VLAN 1, 2, 3) configured. They

Routing switches

can communicate with Server 1, Server 2, and Server 5 via VLAN 1. They

 

can communicate with Server 3 and Server 5 via VLAN 2. They can

 

communicate with Server 4 via VLAN 3. Tagging on switch ports is

 

enabled.

 

 

Note – VLAN tagging is required only on ports that are connected to other switches or on ports that connect to tag-capable end-stations, such as servers with VLAN-tagging adapters.
