What is a VLAN??? - How to setup VLANs in your Home Network and WHY YOU NEED THEM

Ғылым және технология

We all have so many devices connected to our network that is hard to manage them much less even know what they are. Let's set up some VLANs to make it easier to keep our network safe and organized.

    I am a 20yr retired disabled Veteran. My job title was Air Force Network Eng. After retiring worked for Lockheed Martin as an Network Eng. I have never been able to grasp the Vlan concept fully other than written step by step instruction on how to create Vlan until now. It is very important to be able to grasp the basics and you have done a wonderful job of presenting the foundation for the understanding of Vlans, which is professional education level and you where humorus enough for beginners to geeks. I am looking forward to learning more from you and supporting your channel. I need to mention that I am now 61 yr old and I started as a Computer Maintenance Tech in the 80s. Now I just do it for fun at home. You can break it down for those that can't grasp it from the others. Again thank you.

    It can be confusing, to borrow... "Some switches allow a port to be a member of multiple VLANs (port-based) and to optionally apply VLAN tags to one or more VLANs on that port. Some switches call these ports "general" ports. Some switches are 802.1q switches where 802.1q access ports can only be members of one VLAN, and no tag is applied on that port. An 802.1q trunk port can be a member of multiple VLANs and applies a VLAN tag to all VLANs except the native VLAN (PVID). Other switches have port-based (no-tagging) VLAN capabilities. "

    vLANs are so irritatingly hard to understand because everyone's puzzle pieces are different, also because the terminology used by Cisco and Non-Cisco environments does not help AT ALL lol, I use a TP link that splits the 802.1Q settings across 2 pages and gives the appearance that you can break vLAN rules when functionally it works the same as the QNAP switch used in this example. I must've watched this video 100 times now and I've gradually come around to understanding precisely how the traffic is routed. This video really is the best explanation for it and best example, I just had to take it real slow and pay very close attention to what he was saying lol

    Excellent presentation. The diagrams make it so much easier to follow. I've watched Tom from Lawrence Systems when I did mine. His business is actually just north of me in SE Michigan. Iv'e got one vlan. PFsense running on a small PC. It generates the vlan tag and subnet address for devices that may not be secure. Such as a Ring doorbell and an Echo Show on the tagged subnet. The main network is not accessible from the vlan for iOT devices via a firewall rule. A new Netgate managed switch that connects our wired desktops and Unifi AP. Have a backup Unifi Edge Router X configured for only one subnet at the moment. Haven't quite figured out how to duplicate the PFsense configuration so that nothing changes if it gets swapped out in an emergency. Not sure its worth the trouble since in my use case just the doorbell and Echo would lose their connection until I have another PFsense box built.

    It’s a great idea and for sure at least a guest network. But to split your main network into vlan can be not convenient at the end. When you have home automation you want things to be find and communicate for best experience. So you end up whit a big vlan section that makes it also less secure. So just some lights apart from you phone vlan does not work well. I think just buy good hardware that is maximum safe. Still you can have some iOT devices apart from main vlan.

At 18:31 you have a rule that states that the virtual network cannot get to the Private Network, but above it you have a rule that states that the Virtual network can get to everything. Shouldn't block rule be placed above the allow all rule?

    For most home networks, it doesn't really make sense to setup VLANs. The only use case I can think of IF you're willing to put in the work is to isolate IoT devices or devices you don't want on your main network. A lot of IoT devices, especially cheap ones tend to have poor security and may not receive updates. If they get hacked, it could be used as a vector to potentially attack other devices. With VLANs and the appropriate firewall rules, you can isolate the main network and IoT network traffic. So if your "smart" thermostat gets hacked for instance, it would be very difficult for anyone to get outside of that isolated network.

    Using a combo of pfsense as my firewall and omada switches and access points. I vlan everything I can. Then I run static mappings based on mac address in pfsense. It makes it really easy to know what devices are always on the network and which ones come and go. Edit: by vlan everything I mean that I segment based use case. Not that every device gets its own vlan, that would be ridiculous.

    Great Video. Far from the first VLAN video I have sought out and watched, but by far the best! I am confused by some of the settings you showed us regarding untagged LAN packets - confused just enough to risk exposing my ignorance and poor reasoning skills with a question. 11 months behind, I know, but there's always a chance... Why do ALL of the smart switch's ports have to be specifically setup to listen for untagged packets? For example the "not intuitive" part at 14:52, where you specifically assign all 5 ports on your small NETGEAR managed router to listen for untagged packets. I understand why ports 3 and 5 need to be setup to listen for untagged packets, since they are also assigned to tagged packets for VLAN 3, and you want them to handle both. However, if the VLAN Membership settings for ports 1,2, and 4 were left blank, would they not simply function as ports on a "dumb" switch would -- receiving and forwarding any untagged data packets? Doesn't all untagged data automatically default to the LAN and pass through all ports not already assigned to a VLAN? I have almost no experience with VLANs or managed switches, so I could very well be missing something. I'm presuming that the ports of a smart switch function the same as those of a "dumb" switch in regards to untagged data; and that it will do so unless configured otherwise, as opposed to having to be configured to do so. Yet, I don't really know. Will a smart switch block all data which is not tagged (or untagged) to match its configuration? If so, is that true of all managed switches or does it depend on the brand and/or model? Also if so, I am deeply sorry for the embarrassingly dumb question. Thanks again for the great video.

    I meant physically. Like if you have 10 devices downstream you want to assign different VLANs to it could get tricky. That’s why I like my Smart Switch since it has plenty of ports to work with. However, you can send a VLAN packets untagged to a dumb switch and have multiple devices connected to that (pretty much what I’m doing with my access point in the video). It just depends on your setup, really.

Thanks You will see that link speed is 1000M but the gigabit ethernet switch is limited on port speed managed device.

    I am looking for a solution to setup a IPv6 VLAN within my router which has IPv4 from my ISP. Is it possible to setup a IPv6 Network while my ISP only gives the router and so my devices a IPv4 adres?

    You won’t see any real difference between a router vs a switch. Yes, assuming your switch is on the same subnet as the router and you’re not using multiple VLANs then all devices will see each other.

    Would each VLAN become a different wi-fi network? Or is it still only one wi-fi and the differentiation occurs in the access point?

    It depends on your network. You can usually create different SSIDs (Wi-Fi networks) for different VLANs. In more advanced and capable networks, I believe you can perform some extra configurations so that you have a single SSID but your devices can be tunneled to the appropriate VLAN based on your configurations. This does get more complicated to understand and setup as you need some sort of server that performs this - like RADIUS.

  • @Kilzu1

    You will need at least 2 ethernet ports 1 for WAN (Wide area network or better known as internet and recieves IP via DHCP) and 1 for LAN which has static IP. In other words, you need to connect WAN port directly to internet, so that your ISP can give you your public IP or to a router which has DHCP enabled or you need to virtualise the ethernet port and setup DHCP for it. To fix this, you need to give your Laptop IP which is in same network as your LAN interface is (for example if LAN is 192.168.1.1 in subnet 255.255.255.0, then give your Laptop IP of 192.168.1.20 with subnet 255.255.255.0), other way to fix it (if you can) is connect 1 ethernet port directly to internet or router with DHCP enabled and from console, select automatic IP assingment and follow instructions to the letter). Without 2 ethernet ports or NIC which supports ethernet virtualisation, you won't be able to host Pfsense as virtual machine (Pfsense lacks WIFI support or it at least isn't that optimal and even 10$ AP gives you better performance, that is why you need to connect a wireless router or AP to it, to get WIFI connections to work.)

    Also avoid use of virtual machines unless you have actual dedicated server or PC lying around or your current computer has more than enough storage and RAM etc. to host virtual machines. Laptops and gaming PCs aren't actually good choice, since all the RAM, CPU and storage you assing for virtual Machines are shared. For example if you have 32GB RAM and you assing 16 GB to virtual machine, as long as it is up and running, you have 16GBs - whatever OS and background tasks use on the host machine even when virtual machine is using less than 500MB RAM, so you will quickly run out of RAM if you are hosting it on a PC which you use to play games and surf the web. Ideal thing would be buying cheap PC (like something close to Pentium CPU with 4GB of RAM and 2 1Gb NICs) for testing purposes. Pfsense isn't heavy, but virtualisation and networking stuff isn't exactly cheap nor walk hand in hand, they do lower total upkeep costs, but you do have to invest some cash for hardware itself. For example hosting 2 dedicated servers with Ryzen 5 3600 CPU with 128GB RAM and 2TB storage could cost you about 3 000$, buying server with Threadripper, quad port ethernet, 256 RAM and 8TB storage might cost 3500$, but with it you can host 200+ Virtual Machines and also lowers power consumption which lowers power costs. I know virtualisation is something everyone wants, but you do need some serious hardware for it to make it worth while.

    VLANs are done at the router level and through managed switches. Some APs can handle VLANs but you’ll basically be passing them from the source.
