A MSTI can contain more than one VLAN. This is illustrated in Figure 77
where there are two AT-8400 Series switches with four VLANs. There are
two MSTIs, each containing two VLANs. MSTI 1 contains the Sales and
Presales VLANs and MSTI 2 contains the Design and Engineering VLANs.
Figure 77 Multiple VLANs in a MSTI
You should note in this example that since an MSTI contains more than
one VLAN, the links between the VLAN parts is made with tagged, not
untagged, ports so that they can carry traffic from more than one virtual
LAN. Referring again to Figure 77, the tagged link in MSTI 1 is carrying
traffic for both the Presales and Sales VLANs while the tagged link in
MSTI 2 is carrying traffic for the Design and Engineering VLANs.
