What is primary VLAN in HP ProCurve?

The primary VLAN is the VLAN the switch uses to run and manage these features and data. In the factory-default configuration, the switch designates the default VLAN (DEFAULT_VLAN) as the primary VLAN. However, to provide more control in your network, you can designate another VLAN as primary.

What is the default VLAN on a switch?

VLAN 1
The default Ethernet VLAN is VLAN 1. It is a security best practice to configure all the ports on all switches to be associated with VLANs other than VLAN 1. This is usually done by configuring all unused ports to a black hole VLAN that is not used for anything on the network.

What is the default VLAN tag?

The default VLAN is always VLAN 1, and it can’t be changed. By default, Native VLAN is VLAN 1, but it can be changed to any VLAN.

Which VLAN is the default VLAN used to configure all switches from the factory?

VLAN1
By default, all ports are members of the default VLAN—VLAN1.

What is primary and secondary VLAN?

Primary and Secondary VLANs in Private VLANs. A private VLAN domain has only one primary VLAN. Each port in a private VLAN domain is a member of the primary VLAN; the primary VLAN is the entire private VLAN domain. Secondary VLANs provide isolation between ports within the same private VLAN domain.

What are the three types of VLANs?

Types of VLANs

• Port-Based VLAN. Port-based VLANs groups virtual local area network by port.
• Protocol Based VLAN. This type of VLAN processes traffic based on a protocol that can be used to define filtering criteria for tags, which are untagged packets.
• MAC Based VLAN.

What type of VLAN is default VLAN?

VLAN 1 is the management VLAN by default (VLAN 1 would be a bad choice for the management VLAN). Any of a switch VLAN could be define as the management VLAN if admin as not configured a unique VLAN to serve as the management VLAN.

What is default management VLAN?

Default vlan is the vlan1 in which all switch ports are available and by default that is the management vlan also in cisco switches. if you want , you can change the management vlan from vlan 1 to another vlan. ( Communication with the switch management interface is throuh the switch IP address.

Should the default VLAN be tagged?

It is a best practice to explicitly tag the native VLAN in order to prevent against crafted 802.1Q double-tagged packets from traversing VLANs. In many enterprise networks VLANs are used to separate the network into logically separated networks.

What type of VLAN is the default VLAN?

VLAN 1 is the management VLAN by default (VLAN 1 would be a bad choice for the management VLAN). Any of a switch VLAN could be define as the management VLAN if admin as not configured a unique VLAN to serve as the management VLAN.

Are VLANs separate?

Virtual LANs (VLANs) allow network administrators to subdivide a physical network into separate logical broadcast domains. On a standard Layer 2 network, all hosts connected to a switch are members of the same broadcast domain; and broadcast domains can only be physically separated across different switches by routers.

Can 2 VLANs talk to each other?

For the Engineering computers to be on the same network across multiple building floors, VLANs are used to isolate this traffic from marketing and accounting computers. Devices in different VLANs cannot communicate when only using layer 2 switches.

Does VLAN have IP address?

VLANs do not really have IP addresses assigned to them. They have a network assigned to them, or a subnet, or a network range, however you want to refer to it. The address the OP supplied us is an assignable address within the range of 192.168. 4.1-255.

Does VLAN have default gateway?

The default gateway is the first Layer 3 device (such as a router) on the same management VLAN network to which the switch connects.

How do I set the default gateway on a VLAN?

To configure the default gateway for the switch, use the ip default-gateway command. Enter the IP address of the default gateway. The default gateway is the IP address of the router interface to which the switch is connected. Use the copy running-config startup-config command to back up your configuration.

Does every VLAN need an IP address?

NOTE: If multiple VLANs are configured, then each VLAN can have its own IP address. This is because each VLAN operates as a separate broadcast domain and requires a unique IP address and subnet mask. A default gateway (IP) address for the switch is optional, but recommended.

What changes should be made to default VLAN settings?

When configuring a trunk port, the Native VLAN should be set to the same value on each end in order to avoid Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) loops. By default, the native VLAN is set to VLAN 1. A recommended best practice is to change the Native VLAN to another unused VLAN where no hosts or other devices reside.

Does each VLAN need its own router?

No, VLANs don’t require different subnets. Different subnets require different subnet addresses if they ever need to be able to route and/or talk to each other) and by extension if one VLAN wants to talk to a different VLAN it must use different addresses so we can make a routing decision to the right place.

Can 2 VLANs have the same IP range?

The OSA-Express Layer 2 implementation allows the hosts to manage IP addresses and ARP cache, so it is possible to have a single guest LAN segment (or VSWITCH segment) where two different hosts use the same IP Address on different VLAN groups.

Does each VLAN need its own subnet?

Can 2 VLANs be on the same subnet?

Routing between different Vlans with same subnets is not feasible . Generally same subnet communication happen by default , not required any Vlans to be tagged . Only different Vlans with different subnet are feasible to routing .

Can two VLANs have the same IP address?

Does each VLAN need a router?

VLANs don’t need routers to communicate. Well, they usually do, but not necessarily. They just need some “external help”.

Does each VLAN have its own IP address?

VLANs do not really have IP addresses assigned to them. They have a network assigned to them, or a subnet, or a network range, however you want to refer to it.
