FIGURE 8-1 Example of Servers Supporting Multiple VLANs With Tagging Adapters
The example network has the following features:
The physical LAN network consists of a switch, two servers, and five clients. The LAN is logically organized into three different VLANs, each representing a different IP subnet.
■VLAN 1 is an IP subnet consisting of the Main Server, Client 3, and Client 5. This represents an engineering group.
■VLAN 2 includes the Main Server, Clients 1 and 2 by means of a shared media segment, and Client 5. This is a software development group.
■VLAN 3 includes the Main Server, the Accounting Server and Client 4. This is an accounting group.
