I recently setup a similar network for an apartment complex. We had a 48 port switch with each port tagged as a separate VLAN. We set one port as the trunk port and ran it into the monowall's LAN side. The DSL modem was setup in bridged mode and went into the WAN side. We also enabled an OPT port and used it for wireless access via another switch. Firewall rules were added so wireless clients could not access the resident network and QoS was put into place using the wizard to throttle users on both networks. --Tim Aaron Cherman wrote: >> * Apartment building >> * DSL >> * Each apt ought to be on its own VLAN >> * Each apt to see internet but not each other >> * Cisco switch (don't know model ... yet) >> * A few serious bandwidth hogs (need to reign them in) >> >> Can I create 24 VLAN's, one for each switch port, as handled by the >> switch; or can I create 24 VLAN's on the m0n0wall?; can QoS be applied >> to all of the VLAN's?
