If you're following this -- »
www.cisco.com/en/US/docs ··· 8-01.pdf, about all you should have to
do is under VLAN Management and the subsections "Creating VLANs" and "Configuring VLAN Interface Settings."
As you said, 5 ports to the regular LAN and 5 ports to your LAN should be a good start.
said by scj6771:What role will my router play in all of this? It also has VLAN capability.
VLANS are Layer 2 constructs. If you need your home and lab VLANs to talk to each other, you'll
need a Layer 3 device to do that. If your SG300 is already doing this via a SVI (Switched Virtual
Interface) -- fancy way of saying it has eg. 192.168.1.x/24 for the HOME VLAN, and 192.168.2.x/24
for the LAB VLAN configured -- then the WRT doesn't really come into the picture.
