Example #3 - Connection to a Managed Switch:
This example illustrates a connection with a managed Ethernet switch. The switch is configured with multiple virtual local area
networks (VLANs). Ethernet deliveries can only reach destination ports belonging to the same VLAN from which it was sourced.
The figure shows a separate VLAN for QSControl.net traffic and a separate VLAN for CobraNet audio traffic. This configuration
essentially provides a dedicated network for QSControl.net (including the system controller) and a second dedicated network for
CobraNet audio. As with the previous example, as many units may be connected as there are switch ports available. Switches can
be connected to other switches to build larger networks; all of the normal networking principles apply.
