Can you ping a device in a different VLAN?
No as it’s the same network. In general you should avoid having two VLAN but in the same address space. Generaly speaking that will add a administration burden and block intervlan routing.
Should switches be on their own VLAN?
A good security practice is to separate management and user data traffic. Therefore, it is recommended that when you configure VLANs, you use VLAN 1 for management purposes only. To communicate remotely with a Cisco switch for management purposes, the switch must have an IP address configured on the management VLAN.
Can You Ping a host from a different VLAN?
On the router itself, I can ping various hosts (192.168.1.0/16) that’s connected to the switch that’s connected to VLAN 6, but from a PC host machine on VLAN 2, I can’t ping say for instance the switch’s IP (192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0). Can someone help and point me where or how to fix this?
Why is SW1 not able to ping another host?
SW1 is connected to a firewall through a trunk port. I have problems in connecting a host to a particular VLAN. One working host is connected to this VLAN. I want to add another host in that VLAN. I configured another interface for that and I connected the new host. These 2 hosts, same VLAN, can ping each other with no problem.
How to block communication between hosts in the same VLAN?
Block communication between hosts in the same VLAN. Traffic between hosts on the same VLAN goes directly from host to host, not through a router. A switch is a transparent device that simply switches frames based on the destination MAC address, and it floods unknown destinations to all interfaces.
Can a router trunk to a VLAN interface?
You can trunk the VLANs to the router, where you will create subinterfaces for each VLAN, and the router can route between the VLANs. Each host will need to have the IP address of the router VLAN interface for its VLAN configured as its gateway.
