Week 11 Notes - WanderlustPenguin/Charles-Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

Lectures


  • in switch go to VLAN database, give it a number, and give it a name
  • switches must have same number and same name if they will be connected
  • VLAN: separating networks, creating a network within a network, can make any IP address you want in a VLAN
  • VLAN database: located on a switch, used to make VLAN, add number and description
  • to connect PCs to VLAN: go to each port, hit the number across from the access button, and select the number VLAN you want that port to access, and then connect the desired pc to that port
  • If you change a gigabit port from access to trunk, and select the VLANs you want that trunk to use, then a connection can be made across the VLAN between switches, assuming you've done so for both and connect them with a crossover cable
  • by using trunk ports and switches you can avoid using any routers besides accessing the internet, regardless of how many smaller networks you make

Reading


Labs

  • Interface (port type letters/x/x.(intended VLAN number))- enter VLAN configuration mode
  • encapsulation dot1q vlan_id- needed to add addresses
  • ip add (address) (subnet)- adds VLAN address
  • show ip interface brief- done on normal router command level, shows IP addresses including the VLAN addresses
