I know that I can create a VLAN interface by simply creating a new interface and assign the vlan number to the parent interface name with a dot, eg. eth0.5 for vlan 5 on the eth0 NIC.
I wonder if it is possible to separate the traffic on a NIC to one interface with all VLANs, e.g. all tagged packets and another one handling only untagged packets?

Currently i am studying for NAT and from what i read, vlans on physical port on switch actually not good for NAT.
I search for a couple of times but only sources that i got, configure the vlan on physical port like
interface gi0/1
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10
Instead of doing this, i want to do
interface vlan 10
ip add 10.1.12.254 255.255.254.0
ip nat inside
What is the differences between interface gi0/1 and accessing vlan through that port, and interface vlan 10?
I cannot make encapsulation dot1q through interface vlan 10, or it works only for physical ports?
Let's say that i have two vlans, vlan 10 (WLAN) and vlan 99 (USERS). Vlan 10 has an IP address 10.1.12.0/23 and port is gi1/0/24.
Vlan 99 has an IP address 10.1.14.0/24 and range is gi1/0/1-23.
Do I need to configure them like,
interface range gi1/0/1-23
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 99
or are there any way for me to configure only interface vlan 99?
I know this is a basic configuration but two of them making me so confused.
Many thanks
One of the differences between interface VLAN and the physical interface is, you can add an IP address to an interface VLAN, but in L2 switch you can't add an IP address to a physical interface.
We can say physical interface is a layer 2 interface and doesn't support layer 3 options like IP and Routing and etc.
Network admins use Interface VLAN as a gateway for each VLAN. For example, if you want to use inter-VLAN routing, you can use interface VLAN as a gateway for all traffic in that VLAN.
when you say
int gig 0/0
switchport mode access
switchport access VLAN 2
The switch itself tags the port to dot1q vlan 2. So you don't need to tell the switch anything. You just need to put the physical port in the vlan.
VLAN tagging is an interface-level virtualization - it enables you to connect multiple L2 segments (broadcast domains) to a single physical interface (or an aggregated group), sharing the bandwidth.
On some devices that virtualization may have an impact on its other functions (like NAT), but generally that's not the case. Whether you use a routed/L3 port or a switched port with a switch virtual interface (SVI), a VLAN-to-IP binding, may be a matter of taste, architecture, policy, device capability or performance. On many devices, both approaches work absolutely fine.

As you see in the image above, I'm seeking help with making both Vlan connections (Vlan10 and Vlan20) be able to communicate with the Coffe Maker Machine, What should I do?
The way I can think of is via Inter VLAN routing
Inter VLAN routing is a process in which we make different virtual LANs to communicate with each other irrespective of where the VLANs are present (on same switch or different switch). Inter VLAN Routing can be achieved through a layer-3 device i.e. Router or layer-3 Switch. When the Inter VLAN Routing is done through Router the it is known as Router on a stick.
So you can just assign the Coffe Maker Machine to one vlan and have the router handle the communcation. Router on a Stick tutorial
I'm not sure if I understand the purpose of OpenStack Neutron management subnet right.
OpenStack docs suggest that it is a VLAN that is created to let OpenStack components to talk to each other and also allows me to SSH into the host (physical machine).
I assumed that upon splitting a network interface into VLANs for OpenStack, I abandon the IP address, assigned to that physical interface in untagged l3 network (say, 10.100.70.), and instead split it into 3 VLANs, and again get an IP address from my provider infrastructure in another provider subnet on this logical interface (say, 10.100.71.).
But here is a page that explains how to install OpenStack with InfiniBand, and it makes use of both management VLAN and PXE/admin interface. So I keep an IP in the untagged PXE network and also create a tagged management VLAN and get IP addresses on both.
Aren't PXE/admin network and management VLAN network redundant here?
I have 3 separate vlans and subnets (192.168.175.0/24,192.168.176.0/24, 192.168.178.0/24). I need to have the ability to print from a single network printer from any server on these subnets. I have created a 4th vlan for this purpose but I'm not really sure how to configure the intervlan routing on the main switch where these vlans are.
I'm using a Cisco 3560G and trying to use the routing wizard.
Okay, so... Routing between VLAN's is really very simple. First, a VLAN is nothing more than a broadcast domain. When you try and send a packet to a machine, an ARP broadcast goes out to see if any hosts on the local broadcast domain (VLAN) have the IP address. If so, they respond with the MAC address. When an ARP response isn't received, the packet is sent to the router to do something else with it. If the address is not part of the local broadcast domains network (identified via the subnet mask), it's sent to the networks router.
Take the following in to consideration: You have 4 VLAN's... VLAN1, VLAN2, VLAN3 and VLAN4. Each has their own /24 network: 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, 192.168.3.0/24 and 192.168.4.0/24 . What you should have on your router is something like this:
(interface names may be different, but you'll get the idea)
int fa0/0
no shut
int fa0/0.1
encapsulation dot1q 1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
int fa0/0.2
encapsulation dot1q 2
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
int fa0/0.3
encapsulation dot1q 3
ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0
int fa0/0.4
encapsulation dot1q 4
ip address 192.168.4.1 255.255.255.0
The "encapsulation dot1q #" is telling the router, "Encapsulate any L2 frames on this interface with VLAN ID #" . VLAN's are a L2 concept, not L3. So, that in mind, it's important to understand we need to "transport" that L2 connectivity back to the switch and the hosts on the switch.
With the above configuration, interface fa0/0 should be connected to a trunk port on the switch. If you're plugged in to a Cisco switch, "switch port mode trunk" should do the trick. If you're using a non-cisco switch, it will most likely be:
switchport untagged vlan 1 <- default vlan
switchport tagged vlan 2,3,4 <- other VLAN's allowed
That in mind, any hosts should be on ports in their respective VLAN:
Again, if cisco: switch access vlan #
If not, most likely: untagged vlan #
For each port that has a host.
Each host in each VLAN should have their respective gateways as their default gateway... i.e. VLAN 1 should have the IP of fa0/0.1 (192.168.1.1) . VLAN 2 - fa0/0.2 (192.168.2.1) .
This is a very simple methodology. I'd recommend you grab the CCENT or CCNA library, as it can greatly help you understand these concepts.
I am just preparing for a test in college about networking.
I'm currently trying around with sub netting and I found out that two devices attached to a layer 2 switch can talk to each other although they have different subnets!
Device A: 192.168.0.1 subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Device B: 192.168.1.1 subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
The question is why I can ping from device A to B and vice versa?
There's no router, just the two devices and a switch.
From my understanding they should not see each other.
The OS should not even send the ARP request when the unknown IP is in a different subnet.
Could this be a caching issue?
Many Cisco Layer 2 switches are capable to ping the connected systems.
It is possible that your computer might have a route entry that sends a packet which matches no other specific route entry to your router. This is also called as the default gateway. Conventionally the computers in the same subnet are connected directly and most of the times, do not go through the gateway.
To explain it more clearly, If you're on a Linux machine, run route -n.
Destination Gateway Genmask
14.0.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0
0.0.0.0 172.16.80.1 0.0.0.0
The first entry has a destination ranging from 14.0.1.0 to 14.0.1.255. The gateway for this match is 0.0.0.0. The table implies that these systems are connected directly. On the other hand, the entry 0.0.0.0 in the destination field will get matched when the packet matches none of the other entries. The gateway for this is the router address (which in my case in 172.16.80.1). All the packets that do not have IPs in the range that I specified above go to the router for further routing. Once the router gets the packet, it takes the further decision based on its routing information that it posses.
In your case the router happens to know that the other subnet is attached to it and hence passed your packet onto that subnet.
Have a closer look at the ARP. The ARP would be addressed to the router in your case of pinging to the other subnet. On the other hand, if pinging within the network, the ARP would be to the destination directly. This is the conventional case. Of course, it all depends on the routing tables in your system. You can always make all packets go through the gateway or no packets to go through the gateway.
