#7thingsWeLearntAboutVlans
Some of the key things we learnt about Vlan are:
- Vlan ID can range from 0-4095, in some devices Vlan 1 is usually the default Vlan. Also, vlans 1-1005 is regarded as Standard Vlan while from 1006-4094 is called extended vlans. 0 and 4095 are reserved.
- When you write erase a cisco switch, Vlan information will not be deleted unless you the delete from it the Vlan database also known as the Vlan.dat
- VLAN tagged Ports or “trunked” port allows traffic to pass from multiple VLANs, whereas an untagged ports or “access” port accepts traffic for only a single VLAN.
- Enterprise Virtual LAN Security can be implemented and enhanced using Vlan Access Map and VLAN Segmentation
- Inter-vlan routing is an act or technique of allowing Vlans with different networks to interact with each other.
- VTP also know as Vlan Trucking protocol, is used to propagate Vlan information using either server, client or transparent modes.
- In a switch interface both voice and data vlans can be assigned to a single interface.
