 VLAN

• Is the abbreviation of virtual local area network.

• Is a way to segment a given LAN into a number of
segments.
– Is used for providing limited resources access.
– for better traffic management and security.
 Creating vlan
• Consider the following LAN is class C network.
• Pc0 and pc1 in the same vlan:
– Vlan ID is 10 and its name is group1
• Pc2 and pc3 in the same vlan:
– Vlan is 20 and its name is group2
 Procedures to create the valn
• First: Create vlan by using id and name.
– VLAN ID range is 1-1005. but 1002-1005 are reserved.
– VLAN 1 is also reserved as the default VLAN.
• Second: Enable switch ports to access the required vlan
by access mode.
– set access ports to access specific VLANs
• Third: enabling a switch ports to access other switch or
router sing trunk mode.
– set the trunk port to carry data among multiple VLANs.

 Design and configuration of vlan
Design network and configure PCs
VLAN configuration
• Using GUI:
• Create vlan by vlan databse
• Accessing interface using
either access or trunk mode
 configure ports
• Assign switch port. 2 ports to be configured for vlan.
– Access port : to connect switch with PC in a
network
– Trunk port: to connect multiple device such as
router with switch
Access mode: to connect switch with PC
trunk: to connect switch with switch
 Exercise
• Create 4 VLAN with the following information:
VLAN_ ID VLAN_Name No computers

100 student 6

200 Teachers 4

300 Administrator 3

400 support 2
 Exercise
• Design the following VLAN. Desktop computers are in the same
VLAN whereas Laptops in an other VLAN.
 Configuring switch with CLI
• Commands:
– enable: to move from user mode to privileged mode.
– Switch> ……..user mode
– Switch#........privileged mode
– configure: to move from privileged mode to global configuration mode.
– switch(config)#.........configuration mode
– interface: to select a port/interface
– Switch(config-if)# …………….interface mode
– switchport: for interface configuration mode:
• switchport mode access: to configure the port as an access port
• switchport mode trunk: to configure the port as a trunk port
– exit/end: to move back one step
– show vlan/do show vlan: to display list of VLANs at configuration and
interface modes, respectively.
– show interfaces status: to show status of each port

 Vlan configuration using CLI
Configuring the switch
Design and configure computer
• enable
• configure terminal
• To create vlans:
– vlan 10
– name sales_department
– Vlan 20
– name mangment_department
• To accessing ports:
– interface fastethernet0/1
– switchport mode access
– switchport access vlan 10
– Repeate the above 3 commands
to all ports.
 Remove a VLAN from a Remove a VLAN assignment from
database: an interface.

• Use the “no vlan”. • Use “no switchport

• Example: Switch(config)# no vlan 30 access vlan” command
– Example
• switch(config)# end
– F0/24. Switch(config)#
interface f0/24
– Switch(config-if)# no
switchport access vlan
– Switch(config-if)# end
Design and configure VLAN in such a way that desktop computers in
one VLAN and laptops in other VLAN.
 Switch Configuration using CLI
• To access vlan using interface:
– Interface fastEthernet0/1
– Switchport mode access
– Switchport access vlan 10

– Interface fastEthernet 0/2 To connect switch with

– Switchport mode access switch/router
– Switchport access vlan 10 • Interface fastEthernet 0/5
– ---- • Switchport mode trunk
– Interface fastEthernet 0/3 • Switchport trunk allowed
– Switchport mode access vlan 10,20
– Switchport access vlan 20

– Interface fastEthernet 0/4

– Switchport mode access
– Switchport access vlan 20
 Range of ports
• Enable
• Configure terminal
Assume there are VLAN
• Interface range fastethernet 0/1-10 100 and 200 already.
• Switchport mode access
• Switchport access vlan 100

• Interface range fastethernet 0/11-20

• Switchport mode access
• Switchport access vlan 200

• Interface range fastethernet 0/21-24

• Switchport mode access
• Switchport access vlan 300
 Exercise
• Create 3 vlans using any name and ID for the
following class B network.
 VLAN Configuration
• vlan 10
• name sales
• vlan 20
• name IT
• Int fa 0/1
• Switchport mode access
• Switchport access vlan 10
• . To add multiple interface
• . once:
• . int range fa0/1-10

• Int fa 0/4
• Switchport mode access
• Switchport access vlan 20
• Int fa 0/5
• Switchport mode trunck
 Switch configuration
• enable
• conf t
• hostname staff # to give hostname
• enable password 12345 # to change password
• Exit
• Exit
• Show vlan # to display the existing vlans
– Or
• show vlan brief

Q1. Design the following subnets using an IP address of
192.168.1.0/26 and configure the routers to connect the
4 subnets using CLI.
Q2. Take any class B IP address and show VLSM for 5
networks/subnets. You can take any number of hosts
under each subnet. Use at least two routers. Configure
the routers using CLI.
Routing
 Routing
• Routing is simply a process of choosing route for delivering
data to its destination.
• Types of routing: default, static and dynamic.
• Routing process is needed when we are going to deliver
packets of data to a network that isn’t directly connected with
the sender.
