Setting up private vlan with our current setup

Talha
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,
we are managing multiple office which ask for Public IPs (if required by them). we have pool of multiple public IP addresses and we give them the IP from the pool to use them on their router on their end. we have 2 vlans setup on our layer 3 switch, Public vlan 200 and private vlan 50 which has dhcp running. Main gateway connection is coming from ISP switch port to our switch.
Now my question is: one of the user in public vlan has bunch of public IPs from us and we want to isolate them within the vlan 200 using private vlan.
where should I start? If I make vlan 200, primary for private vlan, will it create any disconnection in our current setup? I am also remote and my connection is also coming from vlan 200. Can I make changes in current setup of if I have to start from scretch by going onsite?

 

I hope I am able to clarify my question, thanks

Hello,

 

I just lab tested this and telnetted into a switch, from another switch in the same Vlan. Neither of the configuration parts of the private vlan did disconnect the TELNET session, so doing this remotely should work.

 

Of course, never forget the old trick of setting a 'reload in' on the remote device, so in case something does go wrong, the switch will reboot and allow you to gain access again, with the original configuration.

that's a good check, thanks

doesnt "reload in" is by default present.

Hello,

 

no, it is not in the configuration by default, you need to add that manually when working on the switch remotely...

Ok I see, I didn't know that option. awesome
