Network Virtual LANs (VLANs), Explained Simply (VLANs, Part 1)

Most of the videos and sites I've seen that explain VLANs make it way more complicated than it is. Here's a much simpler description of what they are and how they work.

I would like to say that this is the 4th time I have had to pull this video to understand VLANs. The video is amazing, the convention of tagging is confusing.

I can't believe I finally found THE video!!!
The way you explained VLANs going from the simplest/standard configuration to specific use cases, makes it crystal clear how all of this works.
Thank you so much!

I like the way you're using physical visual aids. Very clever.

Just wanted to say thanks for this - you saved me a lot of time and frustration with your very clear and simple explanations.

Finally a good video explaining the freaking tagged vs untagged. All clear now. Cheers.

THANK YOU! Your elementary explanations were exactly what I needed to wrap my head around vlans. I couldn’t digest the higher level tutorials on other channels because the narrator assumes the audience is at a higher level of understanding… which you just provided me. I appreciate your time spent to help us learn. I’m not into AV, but you’ve earned my follow.

I was reading documentation on several websites and couldn't get a simple answer. You made this really easy to understand. Thank you so much!

The most audio thing you did - gaffer taping the 2 switches together - love it. You really helped me understand the trunking side too, thanks

[kostasstigas]

It was realy hard to understand the whole consept of taging and vids of ports, the amazing thing is that you managed to explain the whole configuration of vlans in a very simple and easy way to understand. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge in such an amazing way.

This is great to understand the concept of vlans, together with part 2. Awesome, thanks so much.

[manprinsen]

I have been trying to understand vlans for so many years. This video is crazy Wonderful explanation! Thanks 🙏

[Bijlsmaa]

This is exactly how my net TP-Link managed switch works! Awesome. Other vids make the concept clear, but this vid 'made the quarter drop' (let it sink in) as we say in The Netherlands.
Now I finally get that the Untag en Tag feature tells what the switch does with internal packets going out of the port and PVID into the port.

thank you so much, this is the first time i understand tagged and untagged usage

[jai-jaihadley]

Phenomenal! Watched a few times and now I've got it. Thank you

[batterynow]

Very nice! simple but actually explained something that I understand VLan ID, Trunking, Tag and Untag. You are wonderful. Thank you!

[siddharth]

Thank you... Thank you.... Thank you... Sir, I finally found a vlan video that is so simple to Understand

[peterthefoxx]

Such a good explanation of how they really work, I have been using VLANs for years but I still wanted to really understand it since some parts were a grey area still.

[Edis]

[theaudioroom]

Thank you Doug, you really have a great way of explaining things. Appreciate all your content.

So I don't know anything about computers, networks or tech. However, I have been watching SEVERAL videos about all this stuff and found your video EXTREMELY helpful. However advanced this is, you made it understandable. Seems my home network doesn't need this level of sophistication...I feel like I want to do it anyways. Lol. Thanks that was great.
