QUESTION $10$:

VLAN and IP Configuration on a Switch$**$

Objective: Configure VLANs and IP addressing on a switch to segregate network traffic.

You have been given a Layer $2$ switch with $8$ PCs connected to it$.$ Your task is to configure VLANs to separate these PCs into two groups, each group belonging to a different VLAN. Additionally, all PCs should be on the $192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}0/24$ network.

Tasks:

Create VLANs:

Create two VLANs on the switch:

VLAN $10$: Engineering Department

VLAN $20$: Marketing Department

Assign Ports to VLANs

Assign ports on the switch to the respective VLANs:

Ports $1-4$: VLAN $10($Engineering$)$

Ports $5-8$: VLAN $20($Marketing$)$

Configure VLAN Interfaces:

Assign IP addresses to VLAN interfaces on the switch for VLANs $10$ and $20$:

VLAN $10$: $192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}1$

VLAN $20$: $192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}2$

Configure PCs:

Configure the IP addresses on each PC in accordance with their VLAN membership:

PCs connected to ports $1-4$: Use IP addresses from the $192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}0$ subnet with a gateway of $192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}1.$

PCs connected to ports $5-8$: Use IP addresses from the $192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}0$ subnet with a gateway of $192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}2.$

Requirements:

Ensure PCs can communicate within their respective VLANs.

Validate connectivity between VLANs is restricted $($interVLAN routing is not configured$).$

$-$Provide a summary of VLAN configurations $($VLAN IDs, assigned ports, and VLAN interfaces with IP addresses$).-$ Submit screenshots of IP configurations from two PCs$,$ one from each VLAN, demonstrating connectivity within their VLAN and inability to communicate across VLANs.
