How do I configure VLANs on my network?

To configure VLANs, you'll need to access your network switch's management interface. Do you have a specific switch model in mind?

I'm using a Cisco switch. What are the steps?

For a Cisco switch, you can use the following steps: 1. Access the switch via console or SSH. 2. Enter global configuration mode. 3. Create a VLAN using the command 'vlan [VLAN_ID]'. 4. Assign ports to the VLAN with 'interface [INTERFACE_ID]' and 'switchport access vlan [VLAN_ID]'. Would you like more details on any of these steps?

Yes, can you explain how to assign ports to a VLAN?

Sure! After entering the interface configuration mode for the port, use the command 'switchport mode access' to set it as an access port, then 'switchport access vlan [VLAN_ID]' to assign it to the desired VLAN. Repeat for each port you want to configure.

Thanks! Is there a way to verify the VLAN configuration?

Yes! You can use the command 'show vlan brief' to see a summary of your VLANs and the ports assigned to them.
