In the second part of this post I completed the setup of VLANs on my WNR3500L router. To make them available to hosts (and VMs) I now have to configure my Cisco SLM2008 switches. Fortunately that turns out to be fairly simple. The SLM 2008 has a web-based GUI that does the job nicely. Once logged in it's a matter of opening the VLAN >> VLAN Settings page. Then just tap in the VLAN ID that you want to create and click “Add”. This then drops you into an additional page where you choose which ports to…

To do this it’s back into to the telnet session and enter the following command: [text]nvram set rc_startup=' #!/bin/ash PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:${PATH}" ifconfig vlan6 192.168.6.254 netmask 255.…

Part 1 – An overview of what I'm trying to do and creating VLANs on the router Part 2 – Configuring IP ranges and the router's firewall Part 3 – Configuring VLANs on the SLM2008 switches Recently I have flashed my home router (a NetGear WNR3500L) with DD-WRT firmware and performed some basic and intermediate configuration to connect it to the internet and direct DNS queries for my lab domain to the correct DNS server. Now though I want to setup some VLANs. I want…
