I read your file, and my answer is unchanged. You seem to believe that,
because there are multiple ports physically connected to a single
switch, that the switch *MUST* provide the mechanism for communicating
among all of those ports. However, if you configure some of the switch
ports to be in disjoint VLANs (as you have), then it is possible--
indeed, likely--that the switch will NOT provide such communication. By
configuring separate VLANs as you have shown, you are, in essence,
telling the switch NOT to allow communication directly among those VLANs.

As I have said many times now, communications among VLANs can be
accomplished using a router. In the diagram you have provided, you show
no router, so there will be no communications among the separate VLANs.
If you want communications among all of the ports, then don't configure
them into separate VLANs.

I looked at this file, and the statements in it, but I really do not
understand what the question is, perhaps because of a language problem.
I will try to explain what I *do* see.

You have a switch (S3) with 8 ports, organized as seven distinct
port-based VLANs. Looking at this switch *alone*, I can tell you that
there will be no user frames forwarded between any ports other than
ports 4 and 5, since only those two ports are in the same VLAN (VLAN 4).
This behavior is completely independent from, and has nothing to do with
the fact that some ports are designated and one is a root port. Spanning
Tree connectivity is generally unrelated to the issue of frame
forwarding within a VLAN.

Is there some other question here that I am not seeing?
