VLAN Configurations

 

Example 1

 

The example shown in 

 

Figure 4-2

 

 illustrates a simple VLAN 

 

configuration comprising a single Switch 1005 with a 10Base-T 

 

Transceiver Module. The ports are divided between two VLANs; VLAN 1 

 

is able to talk to VLAN 2 using the backbone port connection between 

 

each VLAN and the router.

 

To set up this configuration:

 

1

 

Use the VT100 screens to:

 

a

 

Place ports 1-6 in VLAN 1.

 

b

 

Place ports 7-12 in VLAN 2.

 

2

 

Connect a port in VLAN 1 to the router.

 

3

 

Use the VT100 screens to specify that the VLAN 1 port connected to 

 

the router is a backbone port.

 

4

 

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for VLAN 2.

 

You can set up this configuration more easily using 3Com’s Transcend 

 

Enterprise Manager applications.
