Lab# 3
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Networks)

Objective:
This lab exercise is designed for:
 Create a basic switch configuration and its verification.
 Create two VLAN’s, name them and assign member ports to them.

Introduction:
VLAN:
VLANs (Virtual LANs) are logical grouping of devices in the same broadcast domain. VLANs
are usually configured on switches by placing some interfaces into one broadcast domain and some
interfaces into another. Each VLAN acts as a subgroup of the switch ports in an Ethernet LAN.

VLANs can spread across multiple switches, with each VLAN being treated as its own subnet or
broadcast domain. This means that frames broadcasted onto the network will be switched only
between the ports within the same VLAN.

A VLAN acts like a physical LAN, but it allows hosts to be grouped together in the same broadcast
domain even if they are not connected to the same switch. Here are the main reasons why VLANs
are used:

 VLANs increase the number of broadcast domains while decreasing their size.
 VLANs reduce security risks by reducing the number of hosts that receive copies of frames
that the switches flood.
 you can keep hosts that hold sensitive data on a separate VLAN to improve security.
 you can create more flexible network designs that group users by department instead of by
physical location.
 network changes are achieved with ease by just configuring a port into the appropriate
VLAN.

If we try to ping PC’s then it will “Timout” error.i-e Ping PC1 with PC6:

But it will ping within the network i-e Ping PC1 with PC2:

Conclusion:
In this lab what we discussed and learnt is:
 We learnt about the configuration of switches.
 We learnt about addressing of routers, switches and PC’s
 We learnt about creation of VLAN’s.
 We learnt how to assign different VLAN’s to different ports.
