I’ve been searching for different definitions to make me actually understand what a vlan is and its function in a network, you just solved my problem in literally 5mins😭😭

As a guy just starting CCNA7 module 2, this really helped!
This guy is SPICY! Simple explanation, to the point, and simple examples!

I love the way you explain and how slowly you speak, not like others very fast speak up. thanks for the professional explains.

Some people just write thousands of words articles to explain this, thank you this was really easy to understand

[BeeCoole]

Dang, you nailed it. I hated this stuff until I started watching your videos. I have just started to learn how to program multiple vlans on switches. U r a darn good teacher.

I had to go through a ton of YouTube videos with East Indians with strong accents and useless information before I found this useful, articulate, well produced presentation. Thank You! This video needs to be atop the YouTube search algorithm.

Many Thanks Jacob. Your teaching is the most relevant and clear. The Best.

I liked how the picture of the 2 separate LANs with their own switch, merged both switches into 1 switch, while still maintaining 2 separate LANs

Today i actually understood what VLans are about. I have seen several other tutorials regarding VLNAS but that has left me puzzled till i watched this video. Thanx for the wonderful explianation...Cheers :)

I have a real world example. I work in school IT support and we have multiple networks. The 2 main networks are for staff and students. The staff devices (mainly staff laptops and iPads) automatically connect to the staff network and the student devices (mainly Chromebooks) automatically connect to the student network. The reason we have this in place is for network control. We don't want students to be able to see staff devices on the network and it also helps with our content filtering so that they can't look at school inappropriate things. It basically allows us to have granular control over the networks we run at our district.

Great explanation. Much easier than how my textbook explained.

My boring 1 and a half hour lecture has been sum up in one video. Nice!

Great explanation for a single switch implemented with VLAN. You pointed out the key point for understanding this complicated concept.
