VLAN Configuration
This chapter contains an example for VLAN configuration on trunk port.
Configuring VLAN Tags
Topology
This shows configuring a VLAN bridge with VLAN tags on forwarding frames. Link between Bridge 2 and Bridge 3 is configured with VLAN 5 and VLAN 10. Link between Bridge 2 and Bridge 1 is configured as VLAN 5 and link between Bridge 3 and Bridge 1 is configured as VLAN 10.
VLAN Topology
Note: Run the switchport command on each port to change to Layer-2 mode.
