Figure 16   Desktop VLAN Configuration
If you want to add ports 7, 8, and 16 to VLAN2 (as 
shown in Figure 16), so that the ports on the default 
VLAN1 and the ports on VLAN2 cannot communicate 
with each other, do the following:
1
Create a new VLAN and set the VLAN ID to 2. Refer to 
“Creating a VLAN” for instructions. VLAN1 is the 
default VLAN and already exists.
2
Set ports 7, 8, and 16 to D (desktop egress packet). 
3
Click Apply
Ports 7, 8, and 16 now belong to VLAN2, and will not 
be able communicate with any other ports, unless you 
add another port to the VLAN or change the port 
configuration.
Setting Up VLAN Across Two Switches
This example explains how you can set up a VLAN 
across two Switches using uplink connections. This 
enables ports that are members of the same VLAN (but 
are on different switches) to communicate, provided 
that a port on each Switch is set to uplink, and that 
these ports are connected.
