VLAN & Trunking Labs
A collection of labs focused on Layer 2 segmentation, VLAN trunking, and Inter-VLAN routing.
Three VLAN & Trunking labs, from port-based access VLANs up to Router-on-a-Stick.
VLAN Access Ports
Configured port-based segmentation on Cisco switches.
VLAN Trunking (802.1Q)
Set up trunk links and manage VLANs across multiple switches.
Inter-VLAN Routing
Route traffic between VLANs using ROAS and L3 switching.
Key Concepts Covered
- 802.1Q Encapsulation: Tagging frames for transport across trunk links.
- VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol): Managing VLAN databases across multiple switches.
- Router-on-a-Stick (ROAS): Using sub-interfaces for efficient Inter-VLAN communication.
- Access vs. Trunk Ports: Understanding port membership and tagging requirements.
