# How to Configure VLANs on Cisco Packet Tracer

VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) allow you to segment your network into logical groups even if they are connected to the same physical switch. This allows you to create separate broadcast domains and implement security zones. In this article, we will learn how to configure basic VLANs using Cisco Packet Tracer.

## Prerequisites

- Cisco Packet Tracer software installed

- Basic knowledge of VLAN concepts

- At least one switch and multiple PCs/devices connected to the switch ports

## Step 1: Configure VLANs on the Switch

- Double click on the switch to open the configuration window 

- Click on the "VLAN" tab

- Click the "+" icon to add a new VLAN

- Enter a VLAN ID (2-1001) and name 

- Repeat to add more VLANs as needed

## Step 2: Assign Ports to VLANs

- Click on the "Port" tab to view the switch ports

- Click on a port and select the desired VLAN from the drop down menu

- Repeat for other ports assigning them to different VLANs

## Step 3: Test Connectivity 

- Connect PCs/devices to the switch ports based on assigned VLANs

- Ping devices across VLANs, you should not get response 

- Ping devices within same VLAN, you should get response

## Step 4: Configure VLAN Trunks (Optional)

- To pass traffic across VLANs, configure trunking on an inter-switch link

- Select the connected port as "trunk" and allow all VLANs 

And that's it! You have now segmented your network into multiple VLANs using Cisco Packet Tracer. Let me know if you have any other questions!
