VLAN tunnel question

strathglass · ‎06-13-2020

I have a Cisco switch configured with some ports forming a VLAN: for those ports, traffic never needs to leave the VLAN.

But now I want to connect DEVICE X to my home network, but it is only able to connect to a small Dahua switch that ties to the VLAN. This switch does not support 80211.Q and cannot be replaced. (See figure.)

What is the easiest solution to allow DEVICE X to reach the home network?

What extra hardware would I need and how would I configure it?

Keep in mind that I know very little of networking: a friend helped me with the initial Cisco configuration to get the VLAN setup.

I am assuming the easiest solution is one additional switch that can be configured to add the needed 802.1Q tagging, but I really have no idea.

Hi,

For en example: Device-X needs IP address from VLAN 10 than your configuration would be like:

interface gig 1/0/32

description Connected_Dahua_switch_Device_X

Switchport mode access

Switchport access vlan 10

spanning tree portfast

It will work for you.
