Interconnections of VLANs

The move from hubs (shared networks) to switched networks was a big improvement. Control over collisions, increased throughput, and the additional features offered by switches all provide ample incentive to upgrade infrastructure. But Layer 2 switched topologies are not without their difficulties. Extensive flat topologies can create congested broadcast domains and can involve compromises with security, redundancy, and load balancing. These issues can be mitigated through the use of virtual local area networks, or VLANs. 

Example:-.    create a vlan using the vlan NUMBER global mode command

2.    assing a port to the VLAN by using two interface subcommands.The first command is the switchport mode access command. This command specifies that the interface is an access interface. The second command is the switchport access vlan NUMBER command. This command assigns the interface to a VLAN.

 Here is an example of assigning the VLAN 2 to the interface:

In the picture above, you can see that the VLAN 2 was created and that Fa0/1 port on the switch was moved to this VLAN. To verify this, you can again use the show vlan command:
