Configuring VLANs

Figure 21-25. Network Topology for Port-Based VLAN Configuration

The network in Figure 21-25 has the following characteristics:

• Each connection to a host represents multiple ports and hosts.
• The Payroll and File servers are connected to the switches through a LAG.
• Some of the Marketing hosts connect to Switch 1, and some connect to

Switch 2.

• The Engineering and Marketing departments share the same file server.
• Because security is a concern for the Payroll VLAN, the ports and LAG that

are members of this VLAN will accept and transmit only traffic tagged

with VLAN 400.

• The Sales staff might connect to a port on Switch 1 or Switch 2.
