Ask - more than 1 VLAN run simultan

[no_name]

Hi there,

interest with vlan technology, I plan to implement VLAN on my network. I bought HP 2510G for my network.

Can I do this:

- make 3 VLAN

- 1st VLAN --> port 1 - 10

- 2nd VLAN --> Port 11 - 20

- 3rd VLAN --> 21 - 24

1. in general condition, all port connected each other.

2. but some condition, we need to split it.

3. and in another condition, we need to: 1st vlan <--> 3rd vlan, 2nd <--> 3rd vlan, 1st vlan X 2nd vlan

are those condition possible to be implemented?

thanks.

Hi no_name,

Short answer: No.  The 2510 is not a routing switch.

Longer answer: You can set up your VLANs as specified, then implement the policies you want to use in an external firewall/router that is connected to all three VLANs.  In this case you would set aside one port on your switch that is a tagged member of all three VLANs.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money on it, some choices that might work for the firewall/router are:

• Vyatta Core or pfSense on an Intel system
• Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite
• OpenWrt on a Netgear WNDR3800 or similar
• Mikrotik RouterOS on an RB2011 or similar

All of these can do what you're looking for, with varying levels of complexity and ease-of-use.  It all depends on what you're trying to achieve.

Hi no_name,

All of the router/firewall systems i mentioned use software in some way.  Operating them is outside the scope of this forum - you'll have to work it out from reading the manuals.  A web search for each of the product names i mentioned will point you to the respective vendors' web sites, where you can find the documentation.
