VLAN & Trunking Labs
Welcome to the VLAN & Trunking lab collection. These labs cover everything from basic port-based VLANs to advanced Router-on-a-Stick configurations.
VLAN Access Ports Configured port-based segmentation on Cisco switches.
VLAN Trunking (802.1Q) Set up trunk links and manage VLANs across multiple switches.
Inter-VLAN Routing Route traffic between VLANs using ROAS and L3 switching.
Key Concepts Covered
Section titled “Key Concepts Covered”- 802.1Q Encapsulation: Tagging frames for transport across trunk links.
- VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol): Managing VLAN databases across multiple switches.
- Router-on-a-Stick (ROAS): Using sub-interfaces for efficient Inter-VLAN communication.
- Access vs. Trunk Ports: Understanding port membership and tagging requirements.
