Figure 264 VLAN Matching by 3Com Network Director
3Com Network Director would not consider these as two different VLANs and would instead work out that the VLANs are equivalent. 3Com Network Director will only consider a VLAN configured on one switch to be the same as a VLAN on another switch if they have the same VLAN ID, and are connected by a link that has the VLAN configured on the ports at each end.
These rules are intentionally simple, to ensure that the user can easily deduce how 3Com Network Director has presented their network. Rather than attempting to second guess what the user may have intended, 3Com Network Director presents any inconsistencies as misconfigurations. See “Misconfigurations and Optimizations Report” on page 534.
