      \n\nScenario<\/strong>: Now let's push for some advanced networking configurations. Sometimes you just have to push departments into their own VLANs for organization and compliance. Say we have a guest and employee network. We want to prevent communication between the two as much as possible. We would also want to implement some sort of login to access the internet for guests, much like hotels.\n\n<\/div>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_185\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"1073\"]\"Main Figure 3.1: Main scenario[\/caption]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
