Figure 6: Single port-based VLAN spanning two switches
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.
