Now, let\u2019s understand how to configure VLANs and dot1q tagging with two examples. In the first example, we will cover basic VLAN configuration and the commands to map ports to a VLAN. In the second example, we will configure tagged or trunk ports using IEEE 802.1q tagging.  These examples will provide you with practical knowledge and a better understanding of how to implement VLANs effectively in your network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(to right, #ADD8E6, #8A2BE2); padding: 10px; border-radius: 10px; font-weight: 600; color: black;\">\n  <h3 style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 0;\">Table of Contents<\/h3>\n  <ul style=\"padding-left: 20px;\">\n    <li><a href=\"#Example-1-Configuring-VLANs-and-Port-Mapping\" style=\"color: black;\">Example 1: Configuring VLANs and Port Mapping<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"#Example-2-Configuring-VLAN-Tagged-or-Trunk-Ports\" style=\"color: black;\">Example 2: Configuring VLAN Tagged or Trunk Ports<\/a><\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"Example-1-Configuring-VLANs-and-Port-Mapping\"><strong>VLAN Configuration Example 1 :<\/strong> <strong> Configuring VLANs and Port Mapping<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Objective:<\/strong>  In this example, you will create two separate VLANs on a Cisco switch.

The goal is to verify that devices within the same VLAN can communicate with each other, while communication between devices in different VLANs is restricted.

Verify Ping Connectivity<\/strong> <strong>between PCs<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this topology, PC1 and PC2 are in the same network, so they should be able to ping each other. You can verify this by using the command \u201c<code><strong>ping 10.1.1.2<\/strong><\/code>\u201d on PC1. Similarly, PC3 and PC4 should be able to ping each other. Verify this by using the command \u201c<code><strong>ping 20.1.1.2<\/strong><\/code>\u201d on PC3. If the ping is not working, first cross-check the IP configuration on all the devices. Then, try using the <code>shutdown<\/code> and <code>no shutdown<\/code> commands on the switch interfaces to refresh them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6. Verify that traffic from VLAN 10 is not reaching VLAN 20<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Start a Wireshark capture on the link to PC3.<br>2. Ping from PC1 to 10.1.1.3. <br>3. While observing the Wireshark capture on PC3, you should not see any ARP request packets from PC1. This confirms that traffic from VLAN 10 is isolated and not being sent to VLAN 20<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By starting a Wireshark capture on the link to PC3 and pinging from PC1 to an IP address (10.1.1.3) that does not exist in VLAN 10, PC1 will broadcast ARP requests to resolve the IP address to a MAC address. If VLANs are correctly configured, these ARP request packets from PC1 should not appear in the Wireshark capture on PC3, as PC3 belongs to VLAN 20. This confirms that traffic from a port in VLAN 10 does not go out to another VLAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: If you are using GNS3, switchports might not come up even after connecting cables. Verify the interface status with the \u201c<strong>show ip interface brief<\/strong>\u201d command to ensure the interfaces are \u201cup.\u201d If pings fail despite the interfaces being up, refresh the interfaces using the \u201cshutdown\u201d and \u201cno shutdown\u201d commands to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: Check the VLAN configuration and port mappings using either the \u201c<code><strong>show vlan brief<\/strong><\/code>\u201d or \u201c<code><strong>show vlan-switch brief<\/strong><\/code>\u201d command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"Example-2-Configuring-VLAN-Tagged-or-Trunk-Ports\"><strong>VLAN Configuration Example 2 :<\/strong> <strong>Configuring Trunk or Tagged Ports<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Switch ports are divided in to two types, Access (Untagged) ports and Trunk (Tagged) ports. An access port connects a switch to end devices like PCs, printers, and routers, whereas a trunk port connects a switch to another switch. To configure trunk ports, set the mode to trunk and configure the tagging protocol as dot1q or ISL. By default, configuring a port as a trunk allows all VLANs. You do not need to specify each VLAN explicitly unless you want to restrict the VLANs carried on the trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Objective:<\/strong>  Add one more switch to the existing topology with the same VLANs.
