Section II: Advanced Features
on the switches, one of the links is disabled. In the example, the port on
the top switch that links the two parts of the Production VLAN is
changed to the block state. This leaves the two parts of the Production
VLAN unable to communicate with each other.
Figure 77. VLAN Fragmentation
You can avoid this problem by not activating spanning tree or by
connecting VLANs using tagged instead of untagged ports. (For
information on tagged and untagged ports, refer to Chapter 19, ”Port-
based and Tagged VLANs” on page 427.)
