Unmanaged Switch Vlan

Here are two configuration examples for 802 1q vlan.

Unmanaged switch vlan.

So yes that would work but it would from the perspective of the unmanaged switch not be vlans. 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.

This inter vlan communication can be restricted through the use of optional access control lists or acls described later in this article.

A lan can be divided into several vlans logically and only the hosts in a same vlan can communicate with each other. 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. The bad news is that you do not have any separation between the wired network and the wireless network. However if you have a mix of vlans on a switch it needs to be managed.

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. If all of the things plugged into an unmanaged switch are on the same vlan then you can do that. The good news in this is that you have basic connectivity. And the unmanaged switch is sending those frames over its access port to the 3560 which treats them all as belonging to vlan 3.

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. Then the vlan function of the managed switch might be necessary to ensure security. The devices in each vlan are allowed to communicate with devices in other vlans because routing is enabled on the switch. Vlan virtual local area network is a technology that can solve broadcasting issues.
