In this video, you’ll learn how to create and configure VLANs on a Cisco switch for the first time. The lesson walks you through entering configuration mode, assigning VLAN IDs, and naming VLANs to organize your network more effectively. You’ll also see how to assign switch ports to specific VLANs so that devices connected to those ports can communicate within the same VLAN.

The video demonstrates step-by-step commands such as creating a VLAN with vlan <ID>, naming it with name <VLAN_NAME>, and then applying it to a port using switchport mode access and switchport access vlan <ID>. This practical lab helps you understand how VLAN segmentation works in real networks.

By the end of this video, you will be confident in configuring VLANs for the first time, giving you the skills to separate traffic, improve security, and manage broadcast domains on your Cisco switches.
