VLAN Setup for a dummy

[Mysilangelo]

Hello everyone! I am on a short 3-week apprenticeship,and have been assigned to see if I can set up a small back-up network should the main ISP in the company fall down. There is alot of sensitive data on the computers and network, so there are two seperate subnetworks in the network, one for work-computers and one for private computers.

I have been given a 1700-24 Switch and a RV320 Router to with. My task is to (with the help of VLANs) setup two seperate networks which cant communicate with eachother, but both of them must have WAN access.

Theres alot of terminology going on here with Trunks, LLDP, VLAN and VPID. I've never encountered these before in the year I've been to school, so I really would appreciate if anybody jere would be willing to help me out

Pretty much the design is exactly as if you had 2 routers and 2 switches. When you use vlans you do the same thing but your router and switch are now virtual. You could if you really wanted to plug 2 different cables between the router and the switch just as if you had 2 physically separate switches.

You may want to make it work using that method first and then worry about using vlan tags to use a single cable between the switch and the router.
