Key issues covered in my video are:

Problems with VLAN Trunked port and Inter-VLAN traffic rules

No aggregating of wired and wireless devices into the same VLAN

Correct settings for a TP-Link TL-SG108E switch for mixed VLAN traffic

I show some of the issues I experienced with my new Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 gaming router. It is one of only about five or six routers of Asus that support VLAN traffic. The problem is, Asus only provides basic support for 802.1Q VLANs, and for anything more you probably need to consider a MikroTik, pfSense, etc type routers if detailed VLAN support is required.

This is an excellent gaming router, but VLAN support is not something it really excels at (and it does not claim to do so either).

So I use the neighborhood/city/state/country model to think about and explain IP Addresses

(briefly, each octet can be thought of as a georgraphical area, and post offices are the routers. For Example, 192.168.10.15

192 is the country I live in. 168 is my state. 10 is my city, and 15 is my surrounding neighborhood. If I want to send a message to anyone outside of my neighborhood, I have to mail a letter to do it, so I have to go to the post office. ) But I always had a hard time fitting VLANs into that model. A Virtual neighborhood? VLAN Tagging? Trunk vs Access Mode? But then it hit me: VLANs are gangs!

VLANs, a very brief overview The term VLAN stands for virtual local area network. It operates at layer 2 of the OSI Model (Protocol Layer), the Ethernet Layer. In general, we know that a LAN (local area network) is composed of devices and nodes, interacting through protocols.

[ad_1] In order to implement VLANs in a network environment, you'll need a Layer 2 switch that supports them. Almost all switches sold today that are described as "managed" switches provide the ability to make ports members of different VLANs. However, switches that do not provide any configuration function (such as many basic, lower-end switches) do not provide the ability to configure VLANs.…
