Hi All,
I am new to this list so sorry if this has been asked before.
I am really confused about the benefits/setup of Vlans. The more reading I
do on the subject, the more confused I get.
Say, I have a network of 100 users who all access a file server and Internet
router. How can I split them up into 2 vlans when they all need to access
the file server and Internet router. I know it is possible to use a 'router
on a stick' to enable communication between the vlans but can you make the
file server/router members of both vlans without a separate router? Are
there any performance/config issues by making them members of both vlans.?
Also is there any way to assign ports to vlans other than manually
configuring them. For example say I had two subnets 192.168.14.0 and
192.168.15.0 on my network. Is it possible to automatically setup two vlans
so the machines on the 14 subnet are assigned to 1 vlan and the machines on
the 15 subnet to the other ( I know its possible to automatically assign
based on Mac address - but that still means you have to find out all the MAC
addresses on your network ).
Any info or pointers to further reading would be grateful.
Regards,
Darren
