As a network engineer I can say: yep, that's how it works at a high level. Most blogs/courses/videos/etc. go really far into how subnets and VLANs work and often talk about packet tagging, subnet masks, etc., and forget to just give a high level overview of what the stuff does. These videos are short, concise, and accurate. I recommend them a lot to people looking to learn this stuff for the first time as it helps to know what the technology does before you get lost in the weeds on making it work. ;)

[@sbagel95]

What if you have a vlan and subnet at the same time? Like vlan10 is subnet 10.100.10.0/24 and vlan20 is 10.100.20.0/24, would that negate the benefits of having vlans as packet will still go through the router?

As a 30 year networking veteran I both love and cringe the simplicity of your videos. They are accurate but necessarily incomplete in the information they portray (which you state directly at the end of this particular video). I am extremely passionate about this field and hope that your videos inspire people to go deeper down the rabbit hole and learn how PCs, networks, firewalls, etc. work rather than treating them like a "magic black box" . I admire your talent both in simplifying topics that would otherwise be very daunting to beginners as well as doing fantastic easy to follow animations. /salute

You'd still normally have different subnets for each VLAN. All a VLAN does is logically separate a network, instead of physically. This also gives flexibility in that switch ports can be assigned to specific VLANs. This means someone from sales and someone from IT could be connected to the same switch, but be on different VLANs and subnets. Another use for VLANs is with multiple SSIDs on an access point. For example, here I have a guest WiFi on the same AP as the main network and use a VLAN to carry the guest users over the exact same wire as the main network users. The router then provides a different subnet for the guests and routes them to the Internet. BTW, I have a Cisco managed switch here.

[@sab29999]

AGREE

[@James_Knott]

@@robyee3325 If your AP is a router that just being used as an AP, then it likely has a 4 port switch built in. However, if it is, then it likely doesn't support VLANs. You can get by without a managed switch, if your router supports VLANs, as mine does. I run pfSense on a mini PC and have a VLAN configured with it. While it's a good idea to also have a managed switch to keep the VLAN separate from the main LAN, it's not necessary, as an unmangaged switch will likely pass the VLAN frames. On my network, I do have a managed switch, which is configured to pass the VLAN only on the ports connected to my router and to my AP. The VLAN is not available on any other port.

[@dualia-s74m]

What about SSID on routers

[@James_Knott]

@@dualia-s74m Some routers support a guest SSID, which would be different from the main one. Also, some can have different SSIDs for 2.4 & 5 GHz bands. Check the router manual for more info.

[@mountainbikingaz7261]

This is something I've struggle to understand. I understand vlans operate at layer 2 and put tags in the ethernet frame. However, when I setup networks on my unify dream machine, it seems like subnets and vlans go hand in hand. If I create a new network, it creates a new vlan. Why is that? I thought you'd be able to have a single subnet with multiple vlans running in it, but that doesn't work.

[@seanzigmund858]

Yes, this is correct, but one unfortunate point that was left out is that subnets are not just physical and defined at routers in a complex network - especially in this age of Software Defined Networking (SDN). Subnets can be virtualized just like VLANs (and this has been the case for quite some time now) on a single router and/or layer 3 switch at a single port such that your VLANs and subnets can all be on the same network port at the router - plug a single switch (configured with multiple VLANs) into that singular router (with virtualized subnet interfaces on that one router port) and you now have a logical separation at layer 2 (VLAN) and layer 3 (subnet). As an example: RouterA has two ports/interfaces - Eth0 (connected to the ISP as the path to the Internet) and Eth1 (connected to the switch, port 1). SwitchA has 24 interfaces/ports with port 1 connected to Eth1 of RouterA, which is configured as a VLAN trunk port (meaning ALL VLANs configured on the switch are allowed in/out of that port). RouterA Eth1 is configured with virtual sub-interfaces 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 for VLAN1, VLAN2, and VLAN3 respectively and those sub interfaces are configured with subnets of 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, and 192.168.3.0/24 respectively. SwitchA has ports 2 - 4 in VLAN1, 5 - 8 in VLAN2, and 9 - 12 in VLAN3, and again port 1 as a trunk port connected to Eth1 on RouterA. RouterA also acts as a DHCP server for each subnet and as the firewall & router to the Internet connection. When a computing device is connected to port 2 on SwitchA, the switch will send the devices DHCP request frames (layer 2 info) to the router as a broadcast to sub-interface 1.1 (VLAN1) and the router will send out an IP address within 192.168.1.x and no other device on any of the switch ports outside of ports 2-4 will be able to "see" that info. Essentially, network boundaries (security, segmentation of info/broadcasts/etc.) can be created on singular interfaces of routers and layer 3 switches and tied into layer2 devices to simplify the hardware requirements on a network nowadays, and with computer virtualization the rabbit hole gets much deeper, but yeah, this video is a basic representation of subnets and VLANs and a pretty good visual representation (the switch segmentation especially). Keep up the good work, but don't leave out the nuances (perhaps create other deeper videos).Consider even the fact that vendor implementations of the standards are so varied that from one hardware platform to another there are differences that can make the concepts confusing and challenging to implement - take Cisco vs. Sonicwall vs. Netgear vs. Ubiquiti vs. VMWare as an example - all very different to implement, but following the standards to achieve similar results on a network, and as a new standard is released, such as SDN, they all typically follow suit and release the standard on their hardware as a firmware/software upgrade to keep up with current network and computing trends (the never ending nature of "progress"!). Nice work overall!

[@jadefalcon001]

That's what immediately struck me - we have *many* subnets moving over the same physical media, and VLANs in the mix as well.

[@gman21xx]

I got confused by this video on the point about VLANs separating networks logically and then finding out that the VLAN switch has its own physical hardware.

[@ude3333]

So basically, a VLAN could span across multiple Subnets, and vice versa??

[@seanzigmund858]

@@ude3333 No. A physical port can contain multiple VLANs and subnets, as virtual interfaces, or software defined boundaries. It a router is present in the topology, and used as the default gateway by access-level devices such as a computer, then the router will route between the subnets and VLANs using interVLAN routing. Think of it like a highway with multiple lanes - a 4-lane highway as an example... one lane could be VLAN101 with a subnet of 192.168.101.x, the second lane could be VLAN102 with subnet 192.168.102.x, lane 3 is VLAN103 with subnet 192.168.103.x, and lane 4 is VLAN104 with subnet 192.168.104.x. The router can route between the subnets (unless it has access lists or firewall rules that block the subnet traffic). Don't think of it as a "span", but more a boundary or division of the traffic and physical "space" like a highway with lanes. The "lanes" can only be accessed or crossed if the switch or router are configured properly to switch or route the traffic across the boundaries.
