a VLAN maps several subnet?












1














i've read this post: Multiple Subnets in a VLAN
and am wondering about the possible conflicts when using several subnets in a VLAN.



the recommended design is of course put a IP subnet in a vlan.



if i configure several ip subnets in a vlan, e.g. some hosts in 10.1.1.0/24, some hosts in 10.2.2.0/24 and both under a vlan, will these two networks interrupt each other? if there's actually no impact then why is such design not prefered?

          This is possible however:




          • you still need a router to have the hosts from one subnet to communicate with the hosts in the other subnet

          • in a modern switched environment there's no collision, so this is not a issue, but you still have broadcast. All hosts will see the broadcasts from both domains which take some part of the bandwidth.

          • Access Control Lists are bounded to interfaces. So to use ACL to limit traffic between the subnets you are limited to a single interface to place ingress / outgress rules; this is stil doable but more limited

          • any host can potentially hear some traffic pertaining to the other subnet. That's a security issue.

          • when troubleshooting a network issue, you may have to sniff traffic (with utility like tcpdump or wireshark), having several IP networks mixed render this or other troubleshooting more difficult

          • overall, this is more complex to maintain and less scalable than having one subnet per vlan.


          Basically there's just no benefit in doing so.
