All About SUBNETTING your Networks! IPv6, IPv4, and VLAN Numbering Guide and OPNsense Demo
You’ve probably heard all about creating multiple VLANs, for things like your IoT network, guest wifi, and more. But do you know what a VLAN actually is, and what the difference is between a VLAN and a Subnet? Today I’m going to cover the numbering of subnets in your network, and how to set up new subnet and VLAN interfaces in OPNsense. Come along on this adventure!
