To create multiple VLANs that span two switches in a port-based VLAN, a port on system 1 must be
cabled to a port on system 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.
Figure 13 illustrates two VLANs spanning two switches. On system 1, ports 1 through 8, and port 26 are
part of VLAN Accounting; ports 17 through 24, and port 25 are part of VLAN Engineering. On system 2,
all ports on slot 1 are part of VLAN Accounting; all ports on slot 8 are part of VLAN Engineering.
