Lab 11‐1 VLANs in Packet Tracer - aljimenez28/champlain GitHub Wiki

In this lab we created vlans. We connected the pcs to the VLANs and they can ping each other without having a router or being on the same switch. We can't ping other pcs on the same switch yet.

Important Info

• To create a VLAN on a switch: go to config --> VLAN Database --> enter vlan number and vlan name and add it. next, go to FastEthernet0/1 and where it says VLAN 1, click that box and change it to the VLAN you made. do that for all the other places you're connecting your pcs (Fastethernet0/2, 0/3, etc...).
• To connect the switches to each other you have to make the GigabitEthernet port a trunk port. Click on where it says Access under GigabitEthernet0/1 and change it to Trunk. Also make sure your other VLANs are connected aswell. All of them.
• A VLAN is a Virtual LAN that segments a switch into multiple virtual networks. The devices in different VLANs can't talk without a router.
• They have better security, improved performance, easier network management
• Trunk Port: Carries traffic for Multiple VLANs (uses tags to identify them)
• Access Port: Carries traffic for one VLAN
