How To Setup VLANs Pt1

In this video we show you how to setup VLANs

There is a lot to cover so we have split this into two videos

In this, the first part, we provide a background on managed and unmanaged switches and how by default even a managed switch is not a good security choice

We then explain how a managed switch can be used to separate devices into different VLANs by creating VLANs and assigning different devices to different VLANs

This is allows you to follow least privilege and isolate your computers from one another in order to make your network and computers more secure

A very thorough and simple to understand explanation of VLANS. The Fog has lifted.

great video, gained a sub! The speed that you explained Vlan in was perfect for me to understand.

This was VERY helpful. I configured a VLAN on my router and all was working fine from any LAN port on the router. But I could not access the new VLAN through the switch (tp-link TL-SG108E 1.0). I kept searching through the menus of the switch config software looking for a way to "list VLANs for a port". But I had it backward. This video inspired me to dig in again. The menus are still hard to follow, but the way it is done on this switch, as you said, is to "create" VLANs on the switch and then assign ports to that VLAN. All ports were already assigned to VLAN1 the default, I "created" my new VLAN 50, and also assigned all 8 ports to that VLAN as well. Now the switch forwards (tagged) traffic on any port, for either the default network or the added VLAN. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. TP-Link docs were not good at explaining this.

Sir you are such a good teacher. Thank you for the videos

[KenPryor]

I really appreciate your videos. Your explanations are always so good. I'm learning a lot from you. Thank you!

[Zambiziify]

nice intro overview.. Im stuck doing exactly what you said at the end on my netgear switch, assigning it to staticIP and to a VLANX other than VLAN1 without locking myself out. Great content very helpful. keep up the good work.
Trying to config my pve 4x2.5G nics pfsence on proxmox to my netgear MS510TXPP all this VLAN segmentation is hard to wrap head around whilst not locking yourself out after moving from DHCP Assigned ip to static. Fun and games, thanks for this part 2 hands on demo im looking forward to watching. best way to learn is hands on imho.

Great insights David. I'm honored to be learning from you.

Is it a fair summary to say that all devices with a direct wired connection to a managed switch should be connected via ports set to 'Untagged' except for other managed switches and the router, which should be Tagged?

If I've got that right, presumably ports that connect to other managed switches and the router would also be trunk ports?

I'm a bit overwhelmed with the number of different types of VLANs (subnet based, MAC based, protocol based etc.) but am I right in thinking that the first critical step is to figure out which ports on the switch(es) need to be set to tagged or untagged? And that the type of VLAN is the next step?
Happy Chiristmas by the way :)

Finally a video that explains VLAN concepts clearly! On to Pt2!

[TheLateral]

On a 8 port switch. Is a good idea to make a vlan for a ps5, pc and firestick or have one vlan for all them 3

[GHagar]

How does one setup a VLAN for wireless devices? Thank you!

[TechTutorialsDavidMcKone]

VLANs are a very useful security feature for networks, including the home, especially as we add more smart home devices

Why would using an unmanaged switch cause a security issue? I'm the only one using my components, not my next door neighbor. What am I missing?

[samimisaif]

you have talked a lot instead you could have done some configurations
