Figure 5-1 Example of a port-based VLAN
Even though they are physically connected to the same Switch, in order
for the members of the different VLANs to communicate, the traffic
must go through the IP routing functionality provided in the
Switch 3800. This means that each VLAN must be configured as a
router interface with a unique IP address.
