Ethernet
Ethernet connects the hosts on each floor to switches A, B, C, and D. 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet connects these to Switch E. VLAN 10 consists of those hosts on ports 6 and 8 of Switch A and Port 2 on Switch B. VLAN 20 consists of those hosts that are on Port 1 of Switch A and Ports 1 and 3 of Switch B.

If traffic is destined for a node in VLAN 30 (subnet 30) from a node in VLAN 20, Router Y routes it through the backbone to Router Z. If traffic from Segment D on VLAN 10 is destined for a node in VLAN 20, Router Y routes it back out the FDDI interface.
