Would love a follow up video on firewall rules and making sure cloud and local only devices work properly across the vlans. Thanks Chris!

Very good video. Now a video about firewall rules for the vlans. <br>For example how to stream from your secure vlan to the iot lan. <br>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.

I would love a video explaining layer 3 vs layer 2.

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.

Greatest video I ever saw on YouTube. 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

finally a video that clearly explains the tagged/untagged issue.

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.

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!

System admin for 15+ years and nerd for almost 35 and learned something that wasn't clear for me for a long time. Thanks a lot!
