After watching several YT’s on VLANS, I give kudos to Chris for doing a better job than all the others combined. Historically, I sparingly used vlans due to weak knowledge. Now, I’ll use them more. His examples and analogies are superb. It’s so good, I watched it twice.
Greatest video I ever saw on RUclips. You are the most articulate person I have ever encountered on a complex subject like this. I found you by accident and I will continue with your other videos. I wasn't even looking for a Vlan video but I really did understand 80% of what you talked about. You made a place on my google Drive :) Thanks much
Very good video. Now a video about firewall rules for the vlans. For example how to stream from your secure vlan to the iot lan. How will the Sonos app act on a phone vlan when it needs to stream to the iot vlan and the homeassistant app the same way. 😊💪🏼
Exactly. Currently i have all my security cameras on my default LAN. My Agent DVR is running on a computer on my default LAN as well. I manage it through a web browser on my desktop pc on my default LAN. If i segmented the camera's onto a VLAN (which i cannot do at the moment anyways, Google Wifi nojoy) how would i get that streaming traffic to go from it's own VLAN to my computer running the DVR software? If i segemented the DVR computer onto the same VLAN as the camera's, how would I manage it from my desktop PC? Questions... so many questions. I have never understood traffic routing rules for subnets and firewalls. That's the video you need to make for laymen like me.
@@kurti4432not really anymore. Companies fire expensive cisco network experts nowadays, and move towards dumb SDN. Where they dont need to employ highly paid experts. Its the worst time in history to be a ccie, as no company is willing to pay for networking experts, and after the recent 2-3 years of layoff spree, there are many suxh people on the job market, desperate to find a new job, pushing down the average salary.
This met me right where i needed. There are plenty of videos on either side of the subject. Either they're too high level, just explaining the concept of VLANs, or too fine grained, for those who already were very familiar with all the terminology and just needed to know a specific ecosystem. This one video bridged the gaps in my skillset perfectly! Thank you!
Honestly the best explanation of VLANs I have seen, especially the difference between tagged and untagged VLANs. Saved me days of going back and fourth on a help forum
I must say i struggle for a long time understanding the concept of VLANS after reading online aticles, watching several YT videos, i couldn't still get it. This video was a hack to me. You are a good teacher, breaking down complex concepts into simple to understand. Thanks. A video on Firewall rules for the devices on VLANS to talk to each other should be your next.
I’ve been doing small to medium business sysadmin & networking for over 20 years and always got by with larger subnet blocks. I just now am needing to learn VLAN stuff. This helped significantly. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
I find one the biggest points of confusion people have about a layer 2 VLAN is that they think it is synonymous to a layer 3 Network. One can have multiple VLANs on the same piece of wire. One can have multiple layer 3 Networks on the same piece of wire. One can have a VLAN with multiple layer 3 Networks and vice versa they are independent of each other.
I knew a little about VLANs, but often got confused and had to double check on things, this explanation made it much easier to understand and I'm not going to have any issues remembering this. Fantastic content as always!
This is by far THE BEST VLAN tutorial I've come across, I was so confused by Untagged/tagged VLAN, you are the only one who explain it clear as day (not mud 😅). Thank you so much for this! You are THE BEST!
Great video. For security reasons, one should not put all VLANS on the Trunk. Only those that are required by the devices connected down stream. For example, don't include management VLAN or security VLAN when it is not required.
@@CrosstalkSolutions This video should be shown in colleges and high schools for the younger generation to get exposed to networking concepts and terminology.
Excellent topic Chris! As a Network Field Technician, I find this is a commonly unknown topic among the support folks I work with. When a network device stops working (and we know it's not a layer 1 issue), one of the first things I check is "is this device in the correct VLAN?" As you well know, this is common problem in VoIP. Thanks for sharing! 😀
Very well explained. The biggest thing to get across to people is the difference between TAGGED and UNTAGGED. By switching UNTAGGED with DEFAULT, and TAGGED with OPTIONAL or/ ADDITIONAL, things start to become very clear very quickly.
By far the best VLAN video I came across. The only missed info for me was about access port, but everything else explained on this video it’s very well clarified !
Great introduction to VLANs. Getting IPs sorted to different LANs is my main goal (while having access to the internet on all ports) without using a switch.
This was such a helpful video for someone about to set up a new unify based network. Helps make your other unify VLAN setup videos much easier to understand. Thank you.
Hey Chris, great video. As someone who’s been networking for years and been the IT guy for the small companies I’ve worked for, I have set up and use VLANs, but this video did a great job clarifying and simplifying the topic, I feel more confident in my approach now. I’ll refer others to this when I see vlan questions on Reddit. Good job!
Another great video Chris. Your videos on Ubiquiti products are the sole reason that I settle on Unifi equipment a few years ago. Thanks for all your hard work.
Sorry to say, I feel exactly opposite on the horrible Ubiquiti controller. This week I struggled to resurrect a corrupted USG-3P and get LAN2 to function. It was nightmare flipping back to legacy view UniFi for the necessary menu items because V8 is incomplete. While USG demands a new VLAN for lan2, there’s no way to define tag, untag, or trunk. Very disappointing software and documentation.
Great presentation. I'm thinking of getting into Unifi in my new house so I've saved this to watch it all again later when trying to set it up as a nooob. 👍
This is one of the most well done VLAN instructional videos I have ever seen. Is there any chance you can make a tutorial for Chromecast Multicast DNS over VLAN with Ubiquiti? Something that should be easy but never works as expected.
What a great video. Can't tell you how many hours I've spent reading & watching videos on this topic and your presentation caused it all to gel. I suddenly love the new way UniFi does this and I figured out my ancient Dell PowerConnect switch while I was at it with these concepts. So pumped! Fantastic job, Chris. This could be a template for an industry standard.
You never AFAICR explicitly mentioned it to drive the point home, but: without VLANs, to achieve the same logical separation of networks, the networks need to be physically separated (dedicated cable runs and switches for each network so that the packets of two networks "never meet"), and that the whole point of VLANs is that there is only one physical network needed, where the separation of the logical networks is achieved "in software" by having the VLAN-aware routers and switches enforce on port-level the logical separation, based on the VLAN tags of the network packets that pass through.
Superb! 👏 I have finally properly understood setting tagged vs. untagged VLANs on ports. It's the best explanation I have ever come across so far with multiple real world examples. Very informative video. Kudos and thank you! 🌟 Keep up the good work.
Absolutely incredible video! Well done. I believe you may have misspoke between 30:38 and 30:47. I may be wrong, but I believe you referred to tagged ports as untagged. Easy to do, especially given the number of times you had to say tagged and untagged.
Excellent video! Glad you showed UniFi and then also a hodge podge of equipment as well. I am all UniFi here and have noticed my Flex-Mini is VLAN aware and configurable, but like that router you showed, if you configure a port as Native to a VLAN (not 1/default), you can't have tagged traffic.
One of the things that I absolutely LOVE about Macs is that they have built in functionality to understand VLAN's when given a trunk port by a switch. Even my 20 year old PowerMac G5 has this capability! In System Preferences you add the VLAN ID's and give the ethernet "profile" a name. Add as many VLAN interfaces on you Mac as you have VLANS's. So some of my Mac's have 10+ IP addresses all with using a single ethernet cable. No inter VLAN routing required as the computer is on all the networks at the same time and the traffic stays on the Layer 2 switch.
@@ChasEng-o6y Make sure your Mac is plugged into a trunk port on your switch. By default, your Mac will get an IP address in the untagged VLAN 1 "default" or management LAN. Open System Preferences (System Settings) > Network > and click the dropdown menu (depending on OS X or later version) > Manage Virtual Interfaces > Click "plus" button > New VLAN > Name your VLAN > Enter the VLAN ID created by your router or Layer 3 switch > select the NIC interface > click create. Do this process for as many tagged VLAN's you want your computer to be on. For me, after I do that, I disable ETH0 to get the computer off the untagged / management network.
With L2 switch and vlans when you copy files from pc A in vlan 10 to a pc B in vlan 20 it will be slow as hell because all traffic must go through the router to get data from pc a to pc b. With L3 switch the copy files action will go quick because the switch will do the routing using inter VLAN routing.
I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation. I thought I understood VLAN theory clearly, but after watching this video, I realized I still have more to learn. Thank you, @Chris. Recently, I switched from my 8+ year-old 24-port Netgear switch to the UniFi USW-24, and I feel like I'm flying! The browsing experience is amazing. Does the USW-24 use smart queuing, or is my old switch really that outdated? Greetings from Germany!
Thank you for great explanation. I have a question - at 19:00, there is trunk port with all VLAN on it. If we plug device in this port, how does switch determine what VLAN needs to be assosiated to this device - by default, LAN is untagged, but if deice is 'guest' device, how it will be assosiated to VLAN 10? Thanks again.
Fantastic. Future Ubiquiti user in Zambia (gotta get equipment cleared through our version of the FCC) This helped me understand tagged vs. untagged so much better.
This is so comprehensive and I learned so much! I may need to watch this a few times to fully comprehend it but that is okay by me. In a mixed environment scenario where you may not know what is plugged into what, how would you go about identifying hardware? Would I use something like Nmap?
When you were talking about VoIP phones, you could have mentioned the phones can also pass through the default LAN, so that a computer can be plugged into the back, so the computer and phone can share a single switch port.
Thanks! This was extremely informative. 2 questions keep haunting me: 1) Why do we trust devices to tell us which VLAN they want to be part of? A hacker could simply tag his data with any VLAN in order to exploit that VLAN. Shouldn't the router assign each device to a VLAN based on some sort of pre-determined rules that we set? 2) Why would you have different VLANs available on different switch ports? Wouldn't it be best to make all VLANs available on all ports, with the default/untagged set to the guest VLAN? That would give us ultimate flexibility and convenience, such that any device can be patched into any switch port. Once again, the router would make sure that each device is assigned to the correct VLAN, no matter which port it is connected to.
Thanks for the video! Just on a learning curve using omada. One issue I have with putting HomeAssistant on a vlan is that some integrations like local tuya stop working. Having figured it out yet so it's back on the default lan until I see what's going on.
Great video. I thought of some questions while watching, hopefully you (or someone!) can answer: Can you disallow untagged VLAN devices on a port? I.e, require that a VLAN is configured on a device (so someone can't plug in a random device) How do static IPs play into all this? What if you configured a device with a VLAN (or let it default) but set a static IP in the wrong subnet? (I.e, the hacker in the lobby tries to circumvent the allowed VLAN tags by setting a static IP) Can multiple VLANs have the same subnet? What effects would that have?
Again one of the great explaining videos 🎉. Q: Is it also possible to push a device to a VLAN by it’s MAC address? Let’s take the doctors waiting room. Here all devices normally connect to the guests network. But sometimes the doctor itself is in the waiting room and his computer should always connect to the main network. Is that possible (Unifi) ? Other questions: which devices do know / can I train to connect to a special VLAN?
I know this video is old but wanted to leave a thank you for the work, finally I understand some basic concepts that didnt make sense before I watched this, specifically the untagged vs tagged difference. I am trying with an Ubiquiti edge switch and a HP v1910, and in the Ubiquiti its very simple, but cant for the life of me make it work on the hp. I will change the hp with a tp link one to test

yes, if you make a port tagged for VLAN x , but not untagged .. the device will have to use VLAN x otherwise it will not get an IP.
