Draytek Vigor 2760 VLAN configuration & security
In configuring other devices, the general practice/approach is that a VLAN is assigned to a specific network. For example;
VLAN 1 - 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
VLAN 2 - 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
VLAN 3 - 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0
The VLAN configuration of Draytek Vigor 2760 isn't clear or precise.
The screenshot below illustrates that the device has been configured to support 2 subnets.
In the subsequent section, the diagram below describes the VLAN configuration.
The configuration indicates that the physical ports 1 - 4 are assigned to VLAN0 and so is SSID1. VLAN0 is part of LAN 1. Devices either connected to the physical interface/ports on the device or via SSID are assigned IP addresses 192.168.1.x
VLAN1 is forms part of LAN 2. SSID2 is assigned to VLAN1. Devices on this network are issued the IP address 192.168.2.x
Questions;
- Since the number of subnets is limited to 2, it is unclear as to the
value of assigning subsequent VLANs e.g. VLAN2 to either LAN address
spaces e.g. LAN 1 or 2. What benefit does this deliver? - If SSID3 is assigned to VLAN2 which is allocated to LAN2, what are the security and/or performance implications. In testing the configuration, it appears that the devices connected to SSID3 are in the same address space of LAN 2 i.e 192.168.2.x. What are the security implications/considerations?
