Description

VLANs are ubiquitous in networking, and practically universal in enterprise networking equipment. While setting up a VLAN is conceptually the same, there will be variations between network vendor software in VLAN implementation, in addition to terminology. I’ve covered VLANs in OpenWrt quite a bit, but have not in BSD based deployments like OPNsense. In this episode, you’ll learn how to set up your own VLAN in OPNsense 23.1. Since there are many similarities with OPNsense and pfSense, you can also apply these steps to pfSense in order to create VLANs there. Best of all, regardless of your software vendor, you’ll get the same benefits of VLANs regardless, such as network segmentation, like with IoT devices. In addition, you’ll learn the basics of creating your own network using a physical ethernet interface, just in case you don’t want to use VLANs.
