    Configuring Virtual Lans

    Uploaded by

    Sheraz Khan
    The document discusses configuring a company's network using virtual LANs (VLANs) to separate its three departments logically. It will create three VLANs - one each for the Administration, Development, and Production departments. This will prevent the Development department from accessing sensitive information in the other departments, even though they are on the same physical network. VLANs act as separate logical networks that require a router to communicate between them, enhancing network security.

    Configuring Virtual LANs


    • Company has three floors.
    • Three departments ( Production, Development and Admin )
    • Administration and production department have sensitive information and need
    to be separate from development department.
    • With default configuration, all computers share same broadcast domain.
    Development department can access the administration or production
    department resources.

    Virtual LANs
    • A virtual LAN is a group of hosts with a
    common set of requirements that
    communicate as if they were attached to the
    same broadcast domain.
    • Logical grouping of network devices.
    • Same as two different subnets cannot
    communicate with each other without router,
    different VLANs also requires router to
    communicate.
    With VLAN we could create logical boundaries over the physical network. Assume
    that we created three VLANs for our network and assigned them to the related
    computers.

    • VLAN Admin for Administration department


    • VLAN Dev for Development department
    • VLAN Pro for Production department

    • With the help of VLAN, we have separated our
    single network in three small networks.
    • Now Development department cannot access
    the Administration and Production
    department directly.
    • Different VLAN can communicate only via
    Router where we can configure wild range of
    security options.
    VLAN Connections
    Switch supports two types of VLAN connection
    • Access link
    The access links are part of only one VLAN and
    carry traffic to only the end devices connected
    to that particular VLAN
    • Trunk link
    This is used to connect switches to other
    switches and can carry traffic from multiple
    VLANs.
