Scenario:
Imagine you have your ISP's router at home, eager to connect to the digital world. We've got some IP addresses and VLAN IDs waiting to party. Let's make networking fun!
Ingredients:
- ISP Home Router
- Cisco Router
- Switch supporting VLANs
- Ethernet Cables
- Your devices ready to connect
Set up Connections :
Connect your ISP's router to the Cisco router using an Ethernet cable. Then Cisco Router to VLANs supporting Switch. It's like introducing old friends at a party!
Cisco Router Setup
Let's give your Cisco router some personality. Access its command-line interface and let the magic begin!
Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Add IP addresses to interfaces:
Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/0
Router(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Create VLANs for our digital guests:
Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/1.10
Router(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1Q 10
Router(config-subif)# ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-subif)# no shutdown
Enable inter-VLAN routing:
Router(config)# ip routing
Switch Configuration
Time to make our switch feel special! Let's make it happen in the switch's CLI:
Switch> enable
Switch# configure terminal
Create VLANs to organize our guests:
Switch(config)# vlan 10
Switch(config-vlan)# name Guest_VLAN
Assign switch ports to VLANs:
Switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10
Now, connect and turn on your devices and let's see if they're ready to mingle! Test connections and make sure the digital dance floor is open!
