3)
Setting up second VLAN group (Sales), VLAN ID = 02, with membership of ports 1~8, 25.
4)
Setting up third VLAN group (Marketing), VLAN ID = 03, with membership of ports 7~14, 25.
5)
Setting up fourth VLAN group (Accounting), VLAN ID = 04, with membership of ports 19~20, 25.
6)
Setting up first VLAN group (IT), VLAN ID = 01, with membership of all ports.
Since VLAN ID 01 has been setup by default, you will have to remove the ports that belong to all other VLAN group except port 25.
7)
Ports 7 and 8 are on both VLAN 02 and 03 because they connect to a file server and print server. Sales and Marketing departments can both
use these servers.
8)
Port 25 provides Gigabit speed for email server and Internet connection so each VLAN included port 25. It is the uplink port, so each VLAN
must have it to communicate to the rest of the network.
The specific ports above have the following functions:
VLAN 1: Port 15 – Port 18, Port 21 – Port 24, Port 26, for IT department to monitor and control activities on all other VLANs
VLAN 2: Port 1 – Port 8, for Sales department, port 7 and 8 connect to file archives and printer server.
VLAN 3: Port 7 – Port 14, for Marketing department, port 7 and 8 connect to file archives and printer server.
VLAN 4: Port 19 – Port 20, for Accounting department, its work is kept secret from other departments except IT.
Scenarios:
If a packet comes in on port 2, it can go to ports 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 25, as those are the only ports in that VLAN. A Sales person on Port 2 can
get to the Internet, send and receive email, but cannot access the accounting department print server or file archives.
If a Marketing user sends out a broadcast message, the sales and accounting departments will not be affected by the message, as it will not go out
on their ports. Only the marketing department and the IT group will get the broadcast message.
