The two regions share three VLANs: Accounting, Sales, and Presales. You
can group these three VLANs into the same MSTI in each region. For
instance, for Region 1 you might group the three VLANs in MSTI 12 and in
Region 2 you could group them into MSTI 6. After they are grouped, you can
connect the VLANs across the regions using a link of untagged/tagged ports a
shown in Figure 145.
