Figure 5-2 illustrates a single VLAN that spans two switches. All ports on both switches
belong to VLAN Sales. The two switches are connected using port 2 on Switch 1, and
port 6 on Switch 2.

Figure 5-2: Single port-based VLAN spanning two switches

In a port-based VLAN, to create multiple VLANs that span two switches, a port on
Switch 1 must be cabled to a port on Switch 2 for each VLAN you want to have span
across the switches. At least one port on each switch must be a member of the
corresponding VLANs, as well.
