VLAN - Virtual LAN

• To segment layer 2 devices.


• VLAN provide layer 2 security.

• Divides a single broadcast domain into multiple broadcast domain and decrease the broadcast size,

• By default all ports of the switch are in VLAN1, This VLAN1 is known as administrative VLAN or management VLAN.

• VLAN can be created from 2 to 1001

• Can be configured on a a manageable switch only.





Types of VLAN:



• Static VLAN.

• Dynamic VLAN.



Static VLAN:



• Static VLANs are b ased on port numbers

• Need to manually assign a port on a switch to a VLAN

• Also calles port-based VLANs

• It can be a member of single VLAN and not multiples VLSNs





Dynamic VLAN:



• Dynamic VLANs are based on the MAC address of a PC

• Switch automatically assigns the port a VLAN.

• Each port can be a member of multiple VLANs

• For dynamic VLAN configurations a software called VMPS(VLAN Membership Policy Server) is needed.







Trunking:



Its is the process of enabling a VLAN between multiple switches.

Trunking should be enabled only in the fast Ethernet.





Trunk link:



It will forward or carry the VLAN information from one switch to another.





Access Link:



This link assigned to the accessing port from a VLAN.





Frame Tagging:



• It’s the process of adding a VLAM information along with a frame when its traveling through multiple switches.

• When the frame reaches the trunk port of the other switch that particular trunk port will drop the VLAN information and forward the frame to the correct destination.

• VLAN information must be stored in VLAN datatbase.









VLAN idendifications Method:



It is used to identify shich frame belongs to which VLAN.



There are 2 types:

1) ISL( Inter Switch Link)

2) IEEE802.1Q



ISL:



It’s a CISCO proprietary, We can trunk between only CISCO switches.



IEEE802.1Q:



IF you are trunking between CISCO switch and to a different brand of . Switch.





VLAN Configuration

The network lab has two Catalyst 2950T24 switches, with

names Maryland and California, and one Catalyst 2950G

Switch with name Virginia.

- The two Catalyst 2950T24’s in the network lab, each

has 24 10/100 Base T ports, and two 10/100/1000 Base T

ports i.e., gi0/1 and gi0/2.

- For Catalyst 2950G (i.e, Virginia), the two

10/100/1000 Base T ports are currently not installed

- The 24 10/100 Base T ports are: fa0/1, fa0/1,fa0/2, …

fa0/24

- Two 10/100/1000 Base T ports are: gi0/1 and gi0/2





. All the Cisco switches has two operational modes

- User Exec Mode :

When a user first establishes the connection with the

switch, and enter the password, the switch is in ‘User

EXEC Mode’, and the prompt is ‘>’.

- Privileged Mode: when user enter the command

‘enable’ and supply the password, it enters the

privileged mode, and the prompt is ‘#’

- Only in privileged mode, a user can enter configuration

mode; to enter configuration mode, user must enter the

command ‘config t’

. Configuration commands

- The following configuration commands explains how to

define a vlan name, assigning a static-access ports to a

VLAN, or deleting a VLAN.

- A VLAN port can be either in permanent trunk mode,

or in non-trunking mode as access



. What is a Trunk?

• A Trunk is a point-to-point link that transmit and receive

traffic between switches or switch and routers.

• Trunks carry the traffic of multiple VLANs and can

extend VLANs across an entire network







step               command                                  purpose

1                  Config t Enter                               global configuration mode

2                  Vlan vlan-id                                  Enter a VLAN ID

3                  Name vlan-name                           Enter a name for the VLAN

4                  end                                               Return to privileged mode

5                  Show vlan {name id vlan-id }        Verify your entries

6                 copy running-cnofig startupconfig    Save the configuration in the switch

1         Config terminal                            Enter global configuration mode

2         Inter interface-id                          Enter the interface to be added to the

3        Switchport mode access               Define the VLAN membership mode for the port

4        Switchport access vlan Vlan-id     Assign the port to a VLAN

5        end                                              Return to privileged EXEC mode

Catalyst 2950 T24 are:

• Interface fa0/i, where i= 1. 24 are the 24 10/100 Base T

ports

• Interface gi0/1 or 0/2 are the two 10/100/1000 Base T

ports

. The 24 ports of Catalyst 2950G Switch are:

• Interface fa0/i, where i= 1. 24

. Switchport mode access – interface is put into permanent

nontrunking mode

. Switchport mode trunk - interface into permanent

trunking mode



Examples of VLAN configuration

California#sh vtp status

/* show the vtp status */

California#sh vlan /*to show all the vlans configured */

California#config t /* this command cause the switch to enter configuration mode, when

all configuration is completed, enter either Ctrl^z or end to return to privileged

EXEC mode */

California(config)#vlan 10 name vlan10

/* defines name of vlan 10 as vlan10

California(config)#int fa0/1

California(config)#switchport mode access

California(config)#switchport access vlan 10 /* set port fa0/1

into vlan 10 */

California(config)#int fa0/2

California(config)#switchport mode access

California(config)#switchport access vlan 10

California(config)#int fa0/3

California(config)#switchport mode access

California(config)#switchport access vlan 10

/* at this point, vlan 10 has 3 members i.e., fa0/1, fa0/2 and fa0/3 */

California(config)#vlan 20 name vlan20

California(config)#int fa0/5

California(config)#switchport mode access

California(config)#switchport access vlan 20

California(config)#int fa0/6

California(config)#switchport mode access

California(config)#switchport access vlan 20

California(config)#int fa0/7

California(config)#switchport mode access

California(config)#switchport access vlan 20

California(config)#int fa0/8

California(config)#switchport mode access

California(config)#ctrl-Z

California# /*return to privileged mode */

/* At this poing vlan 20 has 4 members i.e.,

fa0/5, fa0/6, fa0/7 and fa0/8 */

California(config)#int gi0/2

California(config)# switchport mode trunk

/* this will put the port gi0/2 to be in permanent

trunking mode */

California(config)#switchport access vlan 40

/* put int gi0/2 into vlan 40 */

California(config)#switchport access vlan 20

California(config)#end or ctrl-Z

/* return to privileged mode */

California#wr mem or copy running-config strtup-config
