Figure 5-2:Single port-based VLAN spanning two switches

In a port-based VLAN, to create multiple VLANs that span two switches, a port on Switch 1 must be cabled to a port on Switch 2 for each VLAN you want to have span across the switches. At least one port on each switch must be a member of the corresponding VLANs, as well.
