[FEATURE] Simulated vlans #884

Open Darin755 opened 3 months ago

Darin755 commented 3 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be nice to have some way of simulating tagged vlans

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally there should be some sort of switch that has support for vlan tagging. I should then be able to set the vlan tag to match with the router to separate out traffic.

Describe alternatives you've considered I could use physical hardware

Additional context Here is the somewhat unrelated OpenWRT vlan wiki page. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/vlan/switch_configuration

Something that has been marked for consideration in the future, but no current plans. Appreciate the input for future considerations.

Thanks for the reply

I think vlans are important from a training perspective. I think understanding vlans and tagging goes a long way to understanding how large networks are designed. I realize this probably would take significant effort to implement so it makes sense that you wouldn't want to work on it right now.
