V-Lan a network.

by tobej . Updated 24 years, 6 months ago

Hi there,

We need to setup a few v-lan on each of our 4 networks, reason is because one of the applications that we will be using sends huge files across to other sites, and we don’t want this traffic affecting our LAN.

Here is what we have we have at each site. 7 – 14 hubs, 3 – 8 unmanaged switch / hubs and 1 Nortel BAYSTACK 420 managed switch.

This is what I want to have working on the Nortel switch in the end.

V-LAN A Port #1 = Internet router

V-Lan B Port #2 = unmanaged switch that hosts “High Volume” Application server / Clients.

V-LAn C Port # 3 – 24 = other servers and hubs / switches and clients.

I want to configure the Switch so that “V-LAN A Port 1” can be seen by “V-LAN B Port 2”
and “V-LAN C Port 3 -24”. BUT………….
“V-LAN B Port 2” cannot see “V-LAN C Port 3 – 24” and vice versa.

I have tried many thigs, E.g As soon as I set “V-LAN 1 port #1” as tagged, then the other ports cannot see it. Do I have to set all of the portstagged?

Thanks for the help.

If someone answers, I will not be back till Monday.

Thanks again…

Toby
