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 4 illustrates two VLANs spanning two switches. On system 2, ports 25 through 29 are part of
VLAN Accounting; ports 21 through 24 and ports 30 through 32 are part of VLAN Engineering. On
system 1, all port on slot 1 are part of VLAN Accounting; all ports on slot 8 are part of VLAN
Engineering.
