VLAN Configuration Example
The example shown in Figure 5-5 illustrates two
VLANs spanning three Switch 1000 units and a
basement Switch 3000 10/100 unit. Each Switch
1000 connects to the basement Switch using a VLT.
The attached router allows the two VLANs to com-
municate with each other.
To set up this configuration:
1 Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
a
Place ports 1–6 and 13–18 of all the Switch 1000
units in VLAN 1.
b Place ports 7–12 and 19–24 of all the Switch
1000 units in VLAN 2.
2
Connect a port on each Switch 1000 to a port in
the Switch 3000 10/100.
3
Use the VT100 screens to:
a
Specify that each Switch 1000 port connected to
the Switch 3000 10/100 is a backbone port. For
more information about backbone ports, refer to
the “
SuperStack II Switch 1000 User Guide ”.
b Specify that each Switch 1000 port connected to
the Switch 3000 10/100 is a VLT port.
c
Specify that each Switch 3000 10/100 port con-
nected to a Switch 1000 is a VLT port.
4 Connect port 1 of the Switch 3000 10/100 to
Server 1.
5
Connect port 2 of the Switch 3000 10/100 to
Server 2.
6
Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to:
a
Place port 1 of the Switch 3000 10/100 in
VLAN 1.
b
Place port 2 of the Switch 3000 10/100 in
VLAN 2.
7
Connect two spare ports on the Switch 3000
10/100 to the router.
8
Use the VT100 screens or VLAN Server database to
specify that one Switch 3000 10/100 port con-
nected to the router is placed in VLAN 1, and the
other is placed in VLAN 2.
You can set up this configuration more easily if you
use 3Com’s Transcend Enterprise Manager applica-
tions for all the management tasks.
