VLANs That Span Switches
To create a MAC address-based VLAN that spans switches, you must
replicate the MAC addresses of the VLAN nodes on all the switches where
the VLAN exists. The same MAC address-based VLAN on different
switches must have the same list of MAC addresses.
Figure 39 illustrates an example of a MAC address-based VLAN that
spans two AT-9400 Switches. The VLAN consists of three nodes on each
switch. Table 91 on page 314 lists the details of the VLAN on the switches.
Note that each VLAN contains the complete set of MAC addresses of all
VLAN nodes along with the appropriate egress ports on the switches.
