Figure 26
VLANs spanning multiple untagged switches
When the STP is enabled on these switches, only one link between each pair of
switches will be forwarding traffic. Because each port belongs to only one VLAN
at a time, connectivity on the other VLAN is lost. Exercise care when configuring
the switches to ensure that the VLAN configuration does not conflict with
spanning tree configuration.
To connect multiple VLANs across switches with redundant links, you must
disable the STP on all participating switch ports.
