Configuring VSAN Trunking
Figure 1-4 Default Allowed-Active VSAN Configuration
You can configure a selected set of VSANs (from the allowed-active list) to control access to the VSANs 
specified in a trunking ISL. 
Using Figure 1-4 as an example, you can configure the list of allowed VSANs on a per-interface basis 
(see Figure 1-5). For example, if VSANs 2 and 4 are removed from the allowed VSAN list of ISLs 
connecting to switch 1, the operational allowed list of VSANs for each ISL would be as follows:
• The ISL between switch 1 and switch 2 includes VSAN 1 and VSAN 3.
• The ISL between switch 2 and switch 3 includes VSAN 1 and VSAN 2.
• The ISL between switch 3 and switch 1 includes VSAN 1, 2, and 5.
Consequently, VSAN 2 can only be routed from switch 1 through switch 3 to switch 2.
