Unmanaged Switch Vlan

If you want more ports for a different vlan then you need another unmanaged switch to connect to the port for the other network to receive an untagged native vlan.

Unmanaged switch vlan.

Then the vlan function of the managed switch might be necessary to ensure security. The term vlan doesn t really make sense in this scenario since that is a term for switches to separate broadcast domains on a switch and unmanaged switches don t do that. An unmanaged switch is simple connecting ethernet devices with a fixed configuration that you cannot make any changes to often used for small networks or to add temporary groups of systems to a larger network. Here are two configuration examples for 802 1q vlan.

If all of the things plugged into an unmanaged switch are on the same vlan then you can do that. Vlan 30 network 192 168 30 0 mask 255 255 255 0 ports 21 28. As the following figure shows the switch connects to two different groups. A lan can be divided into several vlans logically and only the hosts in a same vlan can communicate with each other.

Vlan virtual local area network is a technology that can solve broadcasting issues. And the unmanaged switch is sending those frames over its access port to the 3560 which treats them all as belonging to vlan 3. But if you only set the unmanaged switch up with an access port the unmanaged switch will not know the difference if it is a vlan or not. 2 i would say that i do not know of a unmanaged switch that supports vlans per se.

So yes that would work but it would from the perspective of the unmanaged switch not be vlans. The devices in each vlan are allowed to communicate with devices in other vlans because routing is enabled on the switch. This inter vlan communication can be restricted through the use of optional access control lists or acls described later in this article. The bad news is that you do not have any separation between the wired network and the wireless network.
