Most devices will support multiple VLAN modes. On routers the VLANS have different IP subnets. VLANs are supported on routers (not all) and on network switches. You will need to choose which devices to use to implement your VLAN and the VLAN mode to use.


On Home networks the main use is for security where you want to isolate certain devices from each other.

Just as in normal switch operation it knows the MAC address of the device connected to each port and in VLAN mode it knows to only send the packet to a device with a MAC address on the same VLAN. To accomplish this the switch maintains tables of VLANs and MAC addresses. In this configuration we effectively have created two independent networks.ĭevices connected to VLAN1 cannot communicate with devices that are connected to VLAN2 and vice versa. If we now take out 8 port switch and split it into two VLANs which we call VLAN1 and VLAN2 as shown below. This makes it possible to design a more secure home network. However with a VLAN capable switch it is possible to restrict broadcasts and to control which devices can communicate with each other. This becomes problematic when you have untrusted devices with access to your network or as in the case of home automation you have IOT devices that are possibly vulnerable to attack. In addition any device attached to any port can communicate with any other device attached to any port. If we consider a switch with 8 ports as shown in the schematic below.Ī broadcast sent from a device attached to any port will be sent to all ports. However on home networks they are used mainly to improve network security. VLANS were created in order to reduce the amount of broadcast traffic on a network. Generally a switch will send broadcast traffic to all connected ports, and will allow devices connected on any port to communicate with any other device. VLANS or Virtual LANS is a technology that allows you to split a home network into segments using low cost switches. The Media Manager, VOD and DVR functions all work fine.In the early days of networking splitting a network into segments required a router. If you need more help let me know, and I can look at mine when I get home wrote:Įverything is on the 192.168.0.x subnet, including 2 HD DVRs, 3 STBs and several PCs. Also I would turn off DHCP from your fios router.
VERIZON ROUTER REMOVEM VLAN HOW TO
Ok, I understand, that's easy to fix, you can just change your IP scheme, I am not at home so I can't tell you exactly how to do it, but I know under the main menu of the fios router there is a option for IP settings, just change the IP to 192.168.0.2, and the subnet to 255.255.255.0 (if that's the same as your d-link), and I believe your gateway should be 192.168.0.1 you may not need to put in your gateway. The Media Manager, VOD and DVR functions all work wrote:

ONT -> Linksys WRT150N -> Linksys WRT150N -> ActionTec <- ONT Įverything is on the 192.168.0.x subnet, including 2 HD DVRs, 3 STBs and several PCs. The bottom line is that the primary modem should be the only one configured to give out IP Addresses.

This is the only configuration that will work if you use VZ's PC based Media Manager for media sharing." In this configuration everything is on one subnet. The Actiontec will be functioning only as a switch and a MOCA bridge. "Connect a cat5 cable from a LAN port on your router to a LAN port on the Actiontec. Replacing the Actiontec (part 4): LAN-to-LAN keeps MediaShare DVR (#15993)

I'd like to keep my DLink as the main router, if possible? My DLink router is the main router with the FiOS router plugged into one of its ports. My D-Link Dir-655 will only do routing on the WAN side so I don't have any settings available to create a new route on the LAN side from the DLink (0.1) to the FiOS (1.1). My DVR cannot see my computer with Media Manager because it is on the 192.168.1.1 subnet and my computer network is on the 192.168.0.1 subnet. I have read the links you posted however, I should have been more clear about the problem as Tim suggested. Thank you dslr, JustPassingBy and Tim for your replies.
