Honestly the best explanation of VLANs I have seen, especially the difference between tagged and untagged VLANs. Saved me days of going back and fourth on a help forum
Very good video. Now a video about firewall rules for the vlans.
For example how to stream from your secure vlan to the iot lan.
How will the Sonos app act on a phone vlan when it needs to stream to the iot vlan and the homeassistant app the same way. 😊💪🏼
After watching several YT’s on VLANS, I give kudos to Chris for doing a better job than all the others combined. Historically, I sparingly used vlans due to weak knowledge. Now, I’ll use them more. His examples and analogies are superb. It’s so good, I watched it twice.
Greatest video I ever saw on UA-cam. You are the most articulate person I have ever encountered on a complex subject like this. I found you by accident and I will continue with your other videos. I wasn't even looking for a Vlan video but I really did understand 80% of what you talked about. You made a place on my google Drive :) Thanks much
This is hands down the best VLAN explanation video I have ever seen 🤩. Thanks to this video I finally have a full understanding of VLANs. 🥳
I find one the biggest points of confusion people have about a layer 2 VLAN is that they think it is synonymous to a layer 3 Network. One can have multiple VLANs on the same piece of wire. One can have multiple layer 3 Networks on the same piece of wire. One can have a VLAN with multiple layer 3 Networks and vice versa they are independent of each other.
Thank you! VLANs are virtual broadcast domains.

This met me right where i needed. There are plenty of videos on either side of the subject. Either they're too high level, just explaining the concept of VLANs, or too fine grained, for those who already were very familiar with all the terminology and just needed to know a specific ecosystem. This one video bridged the gaps in my skillset perfectly! Thank you!
I wish you had made this video 5 years ago. Great job, sir! Thank you.
Best video I've seen so far for VLAN beginners. Thank you!
The amount of videos I’ve watched on tagged, untagged and trunk ports FINALLY I now understand it thanks to this ❤
Thank you so much. You are a great teacher. I've learned so much from you these past 3 years. Your customers must love you.
Excellent presentation. Lots of work went into making this video.
It did actually...not an easy topic to tackle!
@@CrosstalkSolutions This video should be shown in colleges and high schools for the younger generation to get exposed to networking concepts and terminology.
Would love a follow up video on firewall rules and making sure cloud and local only devices work properly across the vlans. Thanks Chris!
As someone who knew almost nothing about VLAN's, this video was super informative. Thank you!
Awesome video! Very well laid out to help me better understand VLANs and how to set them up on my Unifi network.
Amazing video! All clear, I can finally say that I understand VLANs - Thank you!
I would love a video explaining layer 3 vs layer 2.
This is by far the best Vlan video I have come across. It answered my long time question about tag vs. untag vlans
Selten haben so gute und anschauliche Erklärungen gehört. Wirklich ganz hervorragend! Vielen, vielen Dank!
Bless you for this video!! Been waiting for this one for awhile. Thank you!
Very well presented. Easy to understand and actually USE! Thank you.
I’ve been doing small to medium business sysadmin & networking for over 20 years and always got by with larger subnet blocks. I just now am needing to learn VLAN stuff. This helped significantly. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Well explained video, would love to see an extensive video with firewall rules using vlan
I knew a little about VLANs, but often got confused and had to double check on things, this explanation made it much easier to understand and I'm not going to have any issues remembering this. Fantastic content as always!
Best VLAN explanation ever! Thank you Chris for this vid!
finally a video that clearly explains the tagged/untagged issue.
I new nothing about routers and switches. Now I feel confident about using them. This is a well laid out video. Thank you very much.
Cheers - glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!! This was so helpful. For the first time, I finally understand VLANS.
excellent video with spot-on explanation and the visuals rocked too
Nicely done Chris, thoroughly enjoyed!
Highly informative! Easy to follow, thanks!
Thank You especially for the practical examples on how to configure at the end.
Very well explained. VLANs for dummies. Impossible does not understand. Thanks for this video
You never AFAICR explicitly mentioned it to drive the point home, but: without VLANs, to achieve the same logical separation of networks, the networks need to be physically separated (dedicated cable runs and switches for each network so that the packets of two networks "never meet"), and that the whole point of VLANs is that there is only one physical network needed, where the separation of the logical networks is achieved "in software" by having the VLAN-aware routers and switches enforce on port-level the logical separation, based on the VLAN tags of the network packets that pass through.
This video is going to help soooo many people, including myself! :) I know how vlans work, but this just simplifies it and will help me help others.
Ty for explaining everything, that helps a non techie like me!!
What a great video. Can't tell you how many hours I've spent reading & watching videos on this topic and your presentation caused it all to gel. I suddenly love the new way UniFi does this and I figured out my ancient Dell PowerConnect switch while I was at it with these concepts. So pumped! Fantastic job, Chris. This could be a template for an industry standard.
Fantastic description and presentation.
Dude this video is a gift from God
Thank you for this excellent explanation...
Hey Chris, great video. As someone who’s been networking for years and been the IT guy for the small companies I’ve worked for, I have set up and use VLANs, but this video did a great job clarifying and simplifying the topic, I feel more confident in my approach now. I’ll refer others to this when I see vlan questions on Reddit. Good job!
Lots a work on that video, great job! thanks for sharing your knownedge
I was confused about untagged and tagged ports. Not anymore! Thank you so much!
I love every second of your video, keep on making more
What a great work and explanation, props to you!!
outstanding video! one of the best VLAN videos on youtube. if not, the best video!!!
Great video. Thank you for the information. It was clear as mud until the very end when you demonstrated. Then it all came together
What a helpful video. Very good job, thank you
Excellent video! Glad you showed UniFi and then also a hodge podge of equipment as well. I am all UniFi here and have noticed my Flex-Mini is VLAN aware and configurable, but like that router you showed, if you configure a port as Native to a VLAN (not 1/default), you can't have tagged traffic.
And subscribed… by far the easiest video to understand this subject I’ve found.
This is one of the most well done VLAN instructional videos I have ever seen.
Is there any chance you can make a tutorial for Chromecast Multicast DNS over VLAN with Ubiquiti? Something that should be easy but never works as expected.
Thank you!
thanks for this video Sir!
Really nice video, you are so good in explaining network stuff the way anyone can understand... Chapeau!
I learned today that I can manually set the VLAN Tag on my Mac, thank you.
Very well explained. The biggest thing to get across to people is the difference between TAGGED and UNTAGGED. By switching UNTAGGED with DEFAULT, and TAGGED with OPTIONAL or/ ADDITIONAL, things start to become very clear very quickly.
Okayyyy Now that is an excellent tutorial video. Leaving here ready to go setup my home VLANs; just need to get up to speed with firewalls.
thanks for that, helped me understand vlans and tagging in the unifi, especially the new interface, a little better
Amazing teacher, thanks for sharing🐍
Great presentation. I'm thinking of getting into Unifi in my new house so I've saved this to watch it all again later when trying to set it up as a nooob. 👍
From Flanders Fields, Belgium : top quality, thank you very much..
Awesome video and mega clear presentation
great shirt! should have added "off the LAN" quote though :D
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you for this great video, awesome content.
Possible update to the beginning - show 4 switches as the "old school" way we would segregate networks physically for each dedicated usage (maybe use different colours of cables for each). Then show a single "VLAN-enabled" switch with all of those cables plugged into it.
This right here. Visually showing what VLANs are logically doing is a great teaching tool.
Thx. I am rookie in this topic, but you inspired me to dig in this area.
Thanks!
Another great video Chris. Your videos on Ubiquiti products are the sole reason that I settle on Unifi equipment a few years ago. Thanks for all your hard work.
Ditto for me too!
Sorry to say, I feel exactly opposite on the horrible Ubiquiti controller. This week I struggled to resurrect a corrupted USG-3P and get LAN2 to function.
It was nightmare flipping back to legacy view UniFi for the necessary menu items because V8 is incomplete. While USG demands a new VLAN for lan2, there’s no way to define tag, untag, or trunk. Very disappointing software and documentation.
Thanks, data tagged into brain-lan successfully!
FW rules next PLEASE and thank you!
Great, thanks.
Cant stop thinking about that t-shirt, fully distracted. I need one!
What a wonderful video
Great vid!
How does the IP phone know that needs to ask for VLAN 30 only? Great video as always!!!
It's probably manually setup with a static IP address in the "30" VLAN range
@@brightmanfanno he said it gets an ip address
it will option to define a VLAN in its settings, otherwise it will (if defined) use the untagged vlan.
Great video. Do you have any videos on VLAN and firewall settings on a UDM for PCI compliance?
THANK YOU THANK YOU
This is so comprehensive and I learned so much! I may need to watch this a few times to fully comprehend it but that is okay by me. In a mixed environment scenario where you may not know what is plugged into what, how would you go about identifying hardware? Would I use something like Nmap?
Great video!
I know this video is old but wanted to leave a thank you for the work, finally I understand some basic concepts that didnt make sense before I watched this, specifically the untagged vs tagged difference. I am trying with an Ubiquiti edge switch and a HP v1910, and in the Ubiquiti its very simple, but cant for the life of me make it work on the hp. I will change the hp with a tp link one to test
Thanks for making this great informative video. Your effort to simplify setting up Unifi networks is much appreciated. You demonstrated setting up the tagging for IoT, Guest and Access point ports, what would the suggested configuration be for a camera port?
Very well made!
excellent!
Fantastic. Future Ubiquiti user in Zambia (gotta get equipment cleared through our version of the FCC) This helped me understand tagged vs. untagged so much better.
I think these videos of yours are gonna get me a promotion! =D They are awesome in so many ways! You are realy good when talking, don dont say words like "eeeh.. uuuh.. Uhm.." etc. Great content. Fun to listen to, you make this very very clear! thank you for your work!
id never let that guy in my lobby he looks shady LOL ;). great video and thank you for putting it out there. Clears up some of the confusion I was having.
I Like your lab/studio
Great video, thanks for taking the time. What are your thoughts on a home network, should the printer and NAS be on the main (secure) network or on the IoT Network. I do have my TVs, Roku, ACs and camera on VLANS but some things break when do this. Like the Roku application for TV control on Android.
One of the things that I absolutely LOVE about Macs is that they have built in functionality to understand VLAN's when given a trunk port by a switch. Even my 20 year old PowerMac G5 has this capability! In System Preferences you add the VLAN ID's and give the ethernet "profile" a name. Add as many VLAN interfaces on you Mac as you have VLANS's. So some of my Mac's have 10+ IP addresses all with using a single ethernet cable. No inter VLAN routing required as the computer is on all the networks at the same time and the traffic stays on the Layer 2 switch.
coul you expand on that just a bit, thx
@@user-mx5cf6iz2r Make sure your Mac is plugged into a trunk port on your switch. By default, your Mac will get an IP address in the untagged VLAN 1 "default" or management LAN. Open System Preferences (System Settings) > Network > and click the dropdown menu (depending on OS X or later version) > Manage Virtual Interfaces > Click "plus" button > New VLAN > Name your VLAN > Enter the VLAN ID created by your router or Layer 3 switch > select the NIC interface > click create. Do this process for as many tagged VLAN's you want your computer to be on. For me, after I do that, I disable ETH0 to get the computer off the untagged / management network.
With L2 switch and vlans when you copy files from pc A in vlan 10 to a pc B in vlan 20 it will be slow as hell because all traffic must go through the router to get data from pc a to pc b. With L3 switch the copy files action will go quick because the switch will do the routing using inter VLAN routing.
Thank you so much for doing this video!!! If you could please do a follow up video on firewall configurations in the Unifi Environment to allow or disallow traffic through different vLan setups. For example. Needing guests to be able to print to a printer that is on the untagged lan or Allowing Lan users to be able to talk to an IOT device. Preciate You Sir! Keep up the great work!
Love the shirt!😀
Excellent. Now just need firewall rules for IOT.
Very Nice
Good stuff 👍
I might have missed it, but it seems that there was no mention of PVID values, which are the standard way of indicating the "native VLAN" for a given port. If you aren't using Unifi, PVID is probably the way that the interface refers to the native VLAN ID.
Great video, Question would you put your point to multipoint antenna wireless wire all on its own VLAN, or would that work?
Amazing work there. Very well presented! One thing i dont understand (or i missed) is how do i as the owner control say cameras conected to vlan 20 and smart switches xonnected tl vlan 30 from my phone? Do i need to connect to each individually or can i have access to all as the owner/admin? Cheers
GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS!!
After setting the VLANs, how do I assign which tag ID each device should go to? Most of my network is plugged into a TP-Link 16 port POE switch which then goes to a USG which is then connected to the modem. Can you make a video which shows that process?
Thanks for this. For the Unifi AP configuratuon, does it have to be on a specific vlan? I have an unsecured rj45 port I want to plug a Unifi Mesh AC to get access to the guest network.
