capability installed.

Configuring the example network

These examples describe how to configure ports and VLANs on Switch 1 and Switch 2.
Description
This high-use blade server needs to be accessed from all VLANs and IP subnets. The server
has a VLAN-tagging adapter installed with VLAN tagging turned on.
One adapter is attached to one of the switch's 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, that is configured
for VLANs 1 and 2. One adapter is configured for VLANs 3 and 4.
Because of the VLAN tagging capabilities of both the adapter and the switch, the server is
able to communicate on all four VLANs in this network while maintaining broadcast
separation among all four VLANs and subnets.
This blade server belongs to VLAN 3. The port that the VLAN is attached to is configured
only for VLAN 3, so VLAN tagging is off.
This PC is a member of VLAN 2 and 3. Via VLAN 2, it can communicate with Server 1,
PC 3, and PC 5. Using VLAN 3, it can communicate with Server 1, Server 2, and PC 4.
This PC is a member of VLAN 4, and can only communicate with Server 1.
This PC is a member of VLAN 1 and VLAN 2. Using VLAN 1, it can communicate with
Server 1 and PC 5. Using VLAN 2, it can communicate with Server 1, PC 1, and PC 5.
This PC is a member of VLAN 3, and it can communicate with Server 1, Server 2, and PC 1.
This PC is a member of both VLAN 1 and VLAN 2. Using VLAN 1, it can communicate with
Server 1 and PC 3. Using VLAN 2, it can communicate with Server 1, PC 1, and PC 3. The
Layer 2 switch port to which it is connected is configured for both VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 and
has tagging enabled.
