Scenario
VLANs partition broadcast domains logically on a switch. Hosts in different VLANs cannot reach each other without a router — even if they sit on the same IP subnet.
Topology
1 × switch, 4 × router · Cisco IOS-style
SW1— switchH1— routerH2— routerH3— routerH4— router
What you will do
On SW1, create VLAN 10 named SALES.
Create a second VLAN 20 on SW1 named ENGINEERING.
Make Eth0 and Eth1 access ports in VLAN 10.
Make Eth2 and Eth3 access ports in VLAN 20.
