Can different subnets be on the same VLAN?
No, VLANs don’t require different subnets. Different subnets require different subnet addresses if they ever need to be able to route and/or talk to each other) and by extension if one VLAN wants to talk to a different VLAN it must use different addresses so we can make a routing decision to the right place.
Do VLAN names need to match?
No they do not have to be the same. The name is not communicated in the 802.1q header, just a numerical value.
Can the two hosts belonging to the same VLAN connect to each other when the two hosts belong to different sub network?
Talking to hosts on another subnet requires the use of a gateway/router. VLANs physically group hosts – hosts within the same VLAN/broadcast domain/L2 segment can talk to each other directly. Hosts in different VLANs can’t.
Does VLAN name matter?
VLAN names don’t have any significance.
What should I name my VLANs?
VLAN names consist of a link name and the VLAN ID number (VID), such as sales0 You should assign customized names when you create VLANs. For more information about customized names, see Assigning Names to Data Links.
Can 2 subnets talk to each other?
To get the subnets to talk to each other, you need to set the gateway address on each router to the other subnets server address, Why are you running multiple networks without routers to protect them?
Can a switch create a subnet?
No, switches are not just simplified routers. Switches create networks, routers connect distinct networks together. Switches operate using only MAC-addresses, while routers also use IP addresses. Switches have many ports in the same subnet, while routers can only have one port per subnet.
Can a subnet have the same VLAN ID?
No problem you can use same VLAN on both switches with different subnet, as one is terminated as a layer 3 on one core switch and other is terminated on different layer 3 switch. So they are completely separated from each other.
Is the VLAN the same as the network?
Yep true jason. both are different. vlan is just like a pocet in your purse. there are many pockets in purse. now you can keep money (subnet) in any pocket. You can do vlan translation mapping with 6500 HW, help a lot in your situation. In the “leaf site”, vlan 600 main site will be see for example with the tag 1600.
What does VLAN 33 do in a subnet?
And VLAn 33 is doing the routing between both subnets. VLAN is a part of Layer 2 header, as soon as packet crosses the Layer 3 boundry the layer 2 header is stripped off and replaced by other layer 2 header.
Can a trunk pass Teh data to multiple VLANs?
Trunk just pass teh multiple vlans data. yep through SVI you can do inter-vlan rouitng. means it can route the packet from one vlan to another vlan becasue its a layer 3 interface. SVI vlan 33 will be using is doing inter vlan rouitng for vlan 600 in both switches but the VLAN 600 is not communciating to each other directly.
