Question

Creating VLANs for a Wireless Network Assignment

Segmenting a network can increase performance and security. Generally speaking, there are two types of segmentation:

Internal user segmentation-This is most often accomplished via virtual local area networks (VLANs).

External user segmentation-This is most often achieved with either a wireless connection outside the corporate firewall that allows direct access to the public Internet or a VLAN that provides direct access to the Internet.

Assume you are a wireless network professional for a mid-size manufacturing company. You want to create VLANs to separate major internal user groups.

For this assignment:

1. Research VLAN configurations for manufacturing companies.

2. A simple diagram showing an appropriate VLAN configuration.

3. In a separate Word document describe the components of the configuration, and explain the function of each component within the VLAN.
