Use the routers as your backbone to transmit information at high bandwidth among your VLAN switches. Routers in VLAN topologies provide broadcast filtering security traffic flow management

7. Cisco 3 - LAN Perrine. J Page 710/20/2015 Chapter 8 VLAN Operation Ports that are assigned to the same VLAN share broadcasts. Ports that do not belong to that VLAN do not share these broadcast. There are two (2) methods in which to create VLANs: 1.Static VLANs – This method is also referred to a port-based membership. As a device is connected to the network, it automatically assumes the VLAN of that port 2.Dynamic VLANs – Dynamic VLANs are created through the use of software packages such as CiscoWorks 2000. With a VLAN Management Policy Server (VMPS), you can assign switch ports to VLANs dynamically based on the source MAC address of the device that is connected to the port.

8. Cisco 3 - LAN Perrine. J Page 810/20/2015 Chapter 8 Static VLAN The default VLAN for every port in the switch is VLAN1, or the management VLAN. The management VLAN cannot be deleted; however, additional VLANs can be created and ports can be reassigned to these alternate VLANs. A router is used to switch between different VLANs. Hence, each VLAN should have a unique Layer 3 network or subnet address assigned.

J Page 910/20/2015 Chapter 8 Advantages of VLANs: reduce administration costs related to solving problems associated with moves, additions & changes 20%-40% of the workforce physically moves each year one can move the node to a new location without changing its’ IP / subnet address by plugging the node into port for that VLAN controls broadcast activity provide workgroup & network security save money by keeping their HUBs and connecting them to switches i.e. don’t’ have to ‘throw away’ the HUBs. The goal of the end-to-end VLANs, is to maintain the 80/20 traffic flow rule – 80% of the traffic on the local VLAN, and 20% on a remote VLAN.

10. Cisco 3 - LAN Perrine. J Page 1010/20/2015 Chapter 8 Broadcast: Switches (not talking about VLANs here) create ‘smaller collision’ domains, but they do not create smaller broadcast domains. Hence use routers which don’t propagate broadcasts. Though by setting up the different VLANs on a switch, one can control the broadcast messaging from one VLAN to another. Security: restrict the number of users in a VLAN group prevent another user from joining without first receiving approval from the VLAN network administrator configure all unused ports to a default low-service VLAN adding access list in the router

11. Cisco 3 - LAN Perrine. J Page 1110/20/2015 Chapter 8 Using Hubs with VLANs Each hub segment that is connected to a switch port can be assigned to only one VLAN. All stations that share a hub segment become members of the same VLAN group.

J Page 1310/20/2015 Chapter 8 VLAN Frame Identification With multiswitch VLANs, the frame headers are encapsulated or modified to reflect a VLAN ID before the frame is sent onto the link between the switches. Multiple trunking methodologies include: IEEE 802.1q ISL (Inter-Switch Link Protocol) 802.10 LANE (LAN Emulation)

14. Cisco 3 - LAN Perrine. J Page 1410/20/2015 Chapter 8 The most common approach for logically grouping users into distinct VLAN: frame filtering filtering table is developed. Can be based on MAC protocol each frame is examined depending on the ‘filter table’ sends the frame out the designated port frame identification unique VLAN ID is assigned to each VLAN in the switch the tagged frame travels the backbone among switches when the frame exits the switch on non-backbone, the identifier is removed this technique is chosen by IEEE (IEEE 802.1q) gaining as the standard trunking mechanism function at layer 2

17. Cisco 3 - LAN Perrine. J Page 1710/20/2015 Chapter 8 LAN Emulation (LANE) LANE is a standard defined by the ATM Forum that gives two stations attached via ATM the same capabilities they normally have if they are LANs such as Ethernet or Token Ring. The function of the LANE protocol is to emulate a LAN on top of ATM network. That is, the LANE protocols make an ATM network look and behave like an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN.

18. Cisco 3 - LAN Perrine. J Page 1810/20/2015 Chapter 8 FACTS VLAN makes up a switched network that is logically segmented by functions, project teams or applications, without regard to the physical location of users. Each switch port can be assigned to a VLAN. Ports assigned to the same VLAN share broadcasts. So VLANs are used to create broadcast domains. VLAN implementation methods used to assign a switch port to a VLAN: port-centric static dynamic

J Page 2010/20/2015 Chapter 8 NOTE: For configuring static VLANs on Cisco 29xx switches: max number of VLANs is switch dependent & is limited by the number of ports on the switch. VLAN1 is one of the factory-default VLANs VLAN1 is the default Ethernet VLAN Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) & VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) advertisements are sent on VLAN1. same encapsulation protocol, such as 802.1q or ISL, must be configured on all switch trunks that participate in the VLAN. commands for configuring VLANs vary by model number. the catalyst 29xx IP address is in the VLAN1 broadcast domain. switch must be in VTP server mode to create, add, or delete VLANs.
