> # Configuring Multiple VSANs

> More than one VSAN can be used to segment the management network in multiple subnets. An active interface must be present on the switch for the VSAN interface to be enabled.

> ## Detailed Steps

> To configure multiple VSANs, follow these steps:

> 1. Add the VSAN to the VSAN database on any switch in the fabric.
> 2. Create a VSAN interface for the appropriate VSAN on any switch in the fabric.
> 3. Assign an IP address on every VSAN interface on the same subnet as the corresponding VSAN.
> 4. Define the multiple static routes on the Fibre Channel switches and the IP cloud .
