the switch on its floor. In
this configuration, PC1 and

PC4 on the second floor will be connected together on VLAN 10. PC3, PC5
and PC6 will be connected together on VLAN 20.

In this configuration, it seems to PC3 as though it were connected through
a single switch to PC5 and PC6.
In order to connect the computers to an external network (e.g., the
Internet), the interface on Novell Security Manager (in the example, this is
eth2) must be configured to support the VLANs.
Attention:
In order to configure a Virtual LAN interface, you will need a network card
with a tag-capable driver. The hardware supported by Novell Security
Manager is listed in the Hardware Compatibility List for Novell
