    Lab 7: VLANs and Inter-VLAN Routing

    • Network Performance: Crucial for organizational productivity
    • VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks): Used to improve performance by separating broadcast domains
    • Broadcast Domains: Separating large broadcast domains into smaller ones improves network performance
    • Routers: Block broadcast traffic at an interface. Their main role is to connect networks, not provide access to devices.
    • Layer 2 Switch (Access Layer): Primarily responsible for network access to end devices.
    • VLAN Implementation: Makes networks easier to manage due to smaller broadcast domains
    • Modern VLANs: Can span MANs (Metropolitan Area Networks) and WANs (Wide Area Networks)
    • Layer 3 Routing: Needed to allow traffic to move between network segments (via routers or Layer 3 switches).
    • Layer 3 switch interface: Provides traffic flow control across network segments, includingVLAN segments
    • VLAN Definitions:
    • Purpose: Segments networks based on function, project team, or application, independent of physical location
    • Security Policies: VLANs allow enabling security policies based on user groupings
    • Logical Partition: A VLAN is a logical partition of a Layer 2 network

    VLAN Types

    • Data VLAN: User generated traffic
    • Default VLAN: All switch ports initially belong to this
    • Native VLAN: Used for untagged traffic
    • Management VLAN: Used for management capabilities

    Controlling Broadcast Domains with VLANs

    • Broadcast Frame Limitation: VLANs limit the reach of broadcast frames within the specified VLAN.
    • Broadcast Domain Scope: A broadcast frame is only forwarded within its designated VLAN.

    Tagging Ethernet Frames for VLAN Identification

    • Frame Tagging: Adding VLAN identifiers to frames for proper transmission through trunk links.
    • Switch Usage: Switches utilize the tagging process to identify the VLAN a frame belongs to.

    VLANs in a Multi-Switched Environment

    • Multiple VLANs: Allow multiple VLANs to coexist within a network.
    • Broadcast Domain Isolation: Each VLAN operates as its own broadcast domain, isolating traffic.

    Voice VLAN Tagging

    • Voice Traffic Prioritization: VLAN tagging allows voice traffic to be prioritized.
    • Voice VLAN ID: VLAN 150 is frequently used for dedicated voice traffic.
    • Separate Usage: Often a different VLAN from data traffic for voice traffic priority.

    Packet Tracer – Investigating a VLAN Implementation

    • Addressing Table: Table providing details on devices, interfaces, IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateways
    • Objectives: Various aspects of broadcast/non-broadcast traffic and VLAN implementation, like how broadcasts and pings operate with and without VLANs.

    VLAN Ranges on Catalyst Switches

    • Supported VLANs: Cisco Catalyst 2960 and 3560 series have support for over 4,000 VLANs.
    • Categories: VLANs are categorized as normal(1-1,005), distributed (1002-1005), or extended range (1006-4096)
    • VLAN Database Location: Vlan.dat in the flash memory
    • VLAN Configuration storage: Stored in running configuration in NVRAM

    Configuring VLANs

    • Commands: Specific commands are used to create, name, and configure VLANs on switches.
    • VLAN File Location: Stored in the flash memory region on the switches
    • Deleting VLAN: specific commands are necessary to delete VLANs safely after configuring the VLAN members to different VLANs first.

    VLAN Ranges and Definitions

    • Normal Range: VLANs 1–1005
    • Distributed Data Interface (FDDI): VLANs 1002–1005
    • Extended Range: VLANs 1006–4096

    Inter-VLAN Routing

    • Routing Traffic between VLANs: Method for moving data between VLANs using routers or multilayer switches.
    • Legacy Inter-VLAN Routing: Using routers with multiple interfaces, each connected to its separate VLAN.
    • Router-on-a-Stick: A technique for configuring routers to perform inter-VLAN routing using subinterfaces.
