VLAN Configuration Example

The example shown in
VLANs spanning three Switch 1000 units and a
basement Switch 3000 TX unit. Each Switch 1000
connects to the basement Switch using a VLT. The
attached router allows the two VLANs to communi-
cate with each other.
To set up this configuration:
Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
1
Place ports 1–6 and 13–18 of all the Switch 1000
a
units in VLAN 1.
Place ports 7–12 and 19–24 of all the Switch
b
1000 units in VLAN 2.
Connect a port on each Switch 1000 to a port in
2
the Switch 3000 TX.
Use the VT100 screens to:
3
Specify that each Switch 1000 port connected to
a
the Switch 3000 TX is a backbone port. For more
