VLANs & Layer 2+ Managed Switches

[J_Worth]

Hello everyone,

 

Firstly I should say they I have never implemented VLANs on a production network before but I have the theory knowledge behind them having studied CCNA3.

 

We have been looking into VLANning our network and was wondering what the best methodology of doing it is. We are firstly going to tidy the switch cabinets and use different coloured patch leads to identify what is on what VLAN.

 

This is such a noob question:- What is the next thing we should start with next?

 

Finally, I have seen switches online that are L2+ and they state that they can do static routing between VLANs.

 

Does anyone have any experience with these and if so how would you rate them?

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

J_Worth.
