2. Current VLAN Configuration

# Port Configuration

This section outlines which ports are connected to what. Since, we only use the top 24 ports it will only have the odd numbers inside the set [1,47].

For example, if you have VLAN 1 with devices in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet and VLAN 2 with devices in the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet, the router will have two sub-interfaces configured: one with an IP address in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet for VLAN 1 and another with an IP address in the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet for VLAN 2.

It's important to note that VLANs are layer 2 constructs, and routing between VLANs is a layer 3 function handled by the router. The router uses these IP addresses to route traffic between VLANs and to external networks.


Make sure that management interface is only accessible at a specific IP address
