You don't need expensive gear to practice CCNA.
Here's a simple VLAN scenario you can build in Packet Tracer (free):
GOAL: Separate HR and Engineering on different VLANs
Switch(config)# vlan 10
Switch(config-vlan)# name HR
Switch(config-vlan)# vlan 20
Switch(config-vlan)# name Engineering
Switch(config)# interface fa0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config)# interface fa0/2
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 20
Now HR (VLAN 10) can't talk to Engineering (VLAN 20) unless you add a router.
Try it yourself. Comment with your result ๐
Do you have any questions regarding the config above? Or have you mastered creating VLANs?
