. The two switches are

connected using port 1 on Switch 1, and port 6 on Switch 2.

Figure 8

Single port-based VLAN spanning two switches

To create multiple VLANs that span two switches in a port-based VLAN, a
port on Switch 1 must be cabled to a port on Switch 2 for each VLAN you
want to have span across the switches. At least one port on each Switch
9100 must be a member of the VLANs, as well.

Figure 9

1 through 3 are part of VLAN
