VLANs and Trunks for Beginners - Part 3

A quick tutorial on how to set up VLANs and Trunks for the Cisco CCNA. Using Packet Tracer, I demonstrate the basic function of VLANs and Trunks. Also In this series of tutorials, I will discuss the different types of VLANs: Default, Data, Native, Management, and Voice.

on 4:18 you configured your PC 192.168.1.101 with IP address:- 192.168.1.100 so that was why when you pinged 192.168.1.100 thinking it was the PC on the otherside of the network you actually got a successful ping from your own NIC... Just saying... Keep up the good work! (DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE??)

[@lachezardimitrov2869]

I guess we all did ^^

[@hishpahlowtnavalowt8731]

yeah me too I noticed.

[@waynenocton]

+Nicholas Bolt Yep, I saw that too...

[@Paraclete333]

+waynenocton I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

[@muhammadshahbazhaider8251]

hahahaha it was funny how he was pinging himself with full confidence :D

[@martytorrez1838]

Thank you for all your videos they are some of the best on this site and else where. Your material is very good for all levels of learning I would recommend your videos to anyone who asks about them. Please keep em coming

[@bra2il]

Noo! you configured it to 100! . Love the content though!

[@valveman12]

Great video. You did make an error at time 4:30 when you set the IP address for 192.168.1.101 you actually set it for 192.168.1.100. Yes Ping worked but you would not be able to ping 192.168.1.101. I just thought I'd point that out. Just a minor mistake.

[@Lonekid98]

first of all I wanna thank you for your time trying to help us as beginners who are trying to take the first step into networking , I have a question : How can you set an IP address on a Switch knowing that it is a Layer 2 device ?

[@Marcelo2482]

Hey! I just wanted to thank you for sharing these series of videos. I found your explanations regarding VLANs simple, fun and easy to understand. You sir, made my CCNA course A LOT easier! Greetings from Argentina!

[@syedzibran]

Thans for your uploads,proved great help for me..thanks again...........

[@volfkhat4952]

Nawaz mehmood No, you are slightly Confused. He Never communicated "between" different vlans. He started on Vlan 1, and he went across the middle on Vlan 1, and he Finished on Vlan 1. Thus, he Never left his Subnet. And, no Routing took place. (In fact, he Never entered a Default-gateway on the Hosts). ~ Of course, i am ignoring the oversight that he pinged himself by accident, But Dan's Logic was Sound :)

[@iiN1GH7M4R3ii]

really great explanation, thank you!!

Sir, My SF300 Switch 100/1000Mbps: 1 port for my 50 user's PC and using this total 7 hub/switch not manage and each PC/WAP Bandwidth Rate limit 5Mbps this is possible? I don't know QoS rate shape how to CLI configure. My ping is 0ms/0ms/0ms. 50meter Thank you very much.

[@jitujalsa]

Excellnt series on VLAN. He makes it very easy to understand. It really helps for beginners like me whose taking their first step in networking. Probably the best videos on VLAN out their. Thank you Dan.

[@mr.roulette7537]

True

[@TurboFpv]

This series is very helpful and informatative. Thank you for putting this knowledge on the internet for other aspiring network engineers. I was listening to what you said about the Catalyst 2960 being a Layer 2 switch and this confused me somewhat. I've been researching and have a question for you. Doesn't the ability to assign each SW port interface with an IP address make the Catalyst 2960 a layer 3 SW ?

[@wu1ff679]

no, giving the SW port interface an IP address doesn't mean that the switch can route between VLANs

[@MrRichiweb]

Great videos. Thank you!!!

[@syvehc1]

I figured it out, it's cisco packet tracer

[@patricryan7282]

I love your channel and your teaching style , by the way , i was a teacher and your style is so great !

[@donamritpal]

hello man great video but you mentioned two ways to communicate across two switches, one is we can put a wire on f0/2 of both switches to make vlan 50 pc(which on f0/10, 192.168.50.101 ) to communicate to another pc which is on other switch (port f0/10,192.168.50.102). And second method is by creating trunk,my question is about first method is that pc 192.168.1.100 (on default vlan) were able to communicate with pc 192.168.1.101 cause they on the same same port f0/5 and vlan and how vlan 50 pcs are supposed to communicate if we put wire on f0/2 on both switches..despite the fact that both pc exist on vlan 50 on the same port f0/10. thanks

[@RayanMADAO]

I know it's a waste to use separate links for each vlan but are there any benefits to using a separate link for each vlan? Would it make the connection faster since not all the vlans share one link

[@Veteran.Veganmami.Reyna1]

Your videos have been so helpful. More helpful than some other videos. Some are too dark or they just stand in front of whiteboard that looks too dark or poor sound quality. I appreciate you showing us through packet tracer as well because I feel more confident after watching you.

[@Veteran.Veganmami.Reyna1]

i don't mind the little mistakes because overall its still a learning experience and the objective is presented well.

[@danscourses]

have you configured virtual terminal lines? configure terminal line vty 0 4 password cisco login end

[@grafixtech]

i was also stuck here... this comment solved my problem, Thanks

[@danscourses]

Right, I misspoke, vty 0 15 is correct. Double check the IP address you set up on the switch's VLAN interface. You probably want to reconfigure regardless in case you missed something.

[@Martin-ot7xj]

Hi there , it was perfect & informative tutoral video . thnx

[@rahmatullahghafoori4784]

yeh same ping didnt work on vlan single y?

[@KenSherman]

They say you were pinging from your own NIC?

[@nwzcs]

This video is confusing, How are you able to communicate between different vlans just by trunking? Either you use sub interfaces and a router or the switch has to be layer 3. Only then can you communicate between different vlans. How are you able to ping between two pcs of different networks just by using trunk?

[@jean-francoiscyr1013]

Hi, I think I can anwser Nicholas Bolt... There is my awnser... When Dan's ping 192.168.1.100... He ping it selft.... like if he ping 127.0.0.1...

[@venbanez2539]

It is possible to connect 2 gateways(192.168.0.1, 192.168.161.5) on the same vlan? Because I want to connect our SIP Trunk uplink on our gateway 192.168.0.1 which our SIP T is 192.168.161.5

[@Gaurav4u22]

Sir, @6:00 you have mentioned that the two PC's are on the seperate network but they are actually on the same network that is 192.168.50.0 The reason they cannot communicate is that by default only VLAN1 PCs can communicate between different switches. For other VLANS to communicate, like VLAN 50 PC on one switch with VLAN 50 PC on another switch we need a Trunk port. But you have mentioned that 192.168.50.101 and 192.168.50.102 are on different networks so they will not be able to communicate, which is actually bit off the track. By making PC-192.168.50.101 on Switch 0 and PC-192.168.50.102 on Switch 1 part of VLAN 50 we can make them communicate, but of course we need a Trunk port between the two switches to accomplish that.That too we can do it only because they are on the same network. Just to clear: For VLAN1 PC's to communicate we don't need a Trunk port. BTW thanks for all your great videos...they are very helpful!!!

[@larsmoritz4430]

This is awsome ty

[@benotsintsadze]

so once you create the second switch and add the 2 pcs they automatically can ping with pc1 on switch 1 because they are set to the default vlan? and do you have to set the ip address to be in the same network as the pcs in switch 1?

[@Akira29H]

Thanks for a very good steps by step tutorial. I have one question why you need to create a new VTY for telnet if Vty 0 4 & 5 15?? already exists and what is vty usually use for? im still learning..

[@paraluman2023]

what appication is this?

[@L053r1]

On the logical diagram in Packet Tracer, how do I display the interface name (fa0/0) on the switch? because when I connect a device to the switch in packet tracer, it doesn't automatically show the port number,

[@punkd1588]

there is a little thing that didn't work because earlier in the first network segment he put the 192.168.1.100 into the switch port 10 that had Vlan 50 assigned, so what i did was change the port in the switch where the first pc was connected and i was able to ping it from 102.168.1.101 (just to help anyone that didnt successfully pinged)

[@gregorycharalambous9947]

I have a bit of an issue!!!! I have a wireless network where i would like to add a tower pc to that network? pc is already on the same vlan as the wireless devices? I think the problem is that the network infrastructure of the one network where I am connecting the pc to is on a completely different network to the wireless infrastructure!!!

[@spades2394]

Hi I’m kinda new, is there a restriction when there are 2 the same vlan number? I mean if you already have vlan 50 , and make another vlan 50c is that possible or restricted?

[@HungPham-fl8py]

so detailed

[@OIDJose]

But you do write the password you configured on the switch right? , after "Password:" appears?. after you type the password you hit enter and Switch> should appear

[@Hakkern]

Ahh thanks. Dude I need help! about the school and im going to share the classromms! (becuse of dhcp) I made ​​five VLAN! and one trunk port .. (Thanks The videos are great!) I have Isp in fa 0/1 this is just GW and the entire network with clients only use this as Gateway. The problem is how can I get internet access on the VLAN? through the trunk?

[@JohnnyJazzFreak]

You can't put IPs on L2 links between the 2 switches, so why do you need an IP (albeit an SVI) to associate with a VLAN? I mean if switches are L2 devices? Is it the story that when you associate an IP network with a VLAN, you are instructing the switch to understand that any hosts on this network 192.168.x need to be passed through to VLAN 1? Or how to conceive this?

[@jawadrinibatanabbas4823]

how he did to communicate the 2 conflict Switches IP Addresses that he mistake to type the other one which is 192.168.1.100 and the other one is 192.168.1.100 as well? check the time of 4:26, that ip address should be 192.168.1.101 but he able to communicate even it is conflict..? danscourses please answer my question,thank you

[@mannyvee]

It is probably communicating with itself giving a false positive.

[@johnsullivan1606]

He pinged himself on accident

[@muhammadshahbazhaider8251]

he pinged himself in other words... and there is no conflict on that... it works..

[@mahenderyadav9824]

there is no IP conflict bro,,, because he didn't did trunk between the two switches ,,,, he pinged himself only,,,if he did trunk between two switches then ip conflict will happen,,,,

[@sevennl]

So the program does not recognize double IP addresses, 192.168.1.100 used twice. But still a useful tutorial :)

[@famfeld]

Hypothetically speaking, would it be less congested (less traffic) to put two links between the two switches instead of creating a trunk? Would there ever be an instance where you would want to do this? Thanks Dan, for the content, I appreciate it.

[@robertkennard990]

Since the only proof you have of a successful connection are those two little green lights between the two PCs - this test is NOT VALID. Your ping test was like ping 127.0.0.1. Suggestion: Re-do the video with the correct IP Address ( 192.168.1.101)

[@mattkingsley7679]

or put in a comment in the video.

[@markjasonortiz6541]

we dont need your suggestion dude. just create your own tutorial. :D that video is so detailed and well explained :)

[@Paraclete333]

+Mark Jason Ortiz Not sure who you've replied to, but Robert is right. At 4:17, Dan (the uploader of this video) assigns the same IP address as on the other computer on the same VLAN but on the other switch. This creates IP conflicts, and the PC he pings from might actually ping itself.
