3Com Baseline 2848-SFP Plus - Setting Up a VLAN Across Two Switches

36 CONFIGURING THE SWITCH
Figure 14 Untagged VLAN Configuration Example
This example explains how you can set up a simple
VLAN Configuration on your Switch using untagged
connections. If you want to add ports 7, 8 and 16 to
VLAN2, as shown in
Figure 14, so that the ports on the
default VLAN1 and the ports on VLAN2 cannot
communicate with each other, do the following:
1 Use the Create VLANs screen (Figure 13) to create
VLAN2. (VLAN1 is the default VLAN and already exists.)
2 Click the icon under port number 7 until you see the
letter U for Untagged.
3 Repeat step 2 for ports 8 and 16.
4 Click Apply.
Ports 7, 8 and 16 now belong to VLAN2, and will not
communicate with any other ports until you add
another port to the VLAN, or change the port
configuration.
Setting Up a VLAN Across Two Switches
This example explains how you can set up a VLAN
across two Switches using tagged connections. This
enables ports that are members of the same VLAN (but
are on different switches) to communicate, provided
that a port on each Switch is set to tagged, and that
these ports are connected.
