configuring-network-segmentation-with-vlans

configuring-network-segmentation-with-vlans is a skill for Claude Code from 26zl/cybersec-toolkit. It costs 48 tokens per session (4,116 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A network setup that divides managed-switch traffic into separate virtual networks called VLANs, such as corporate, guest, server, and IoT zones. It also defines how traffic may pass between those zones.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan VLANs, switch trunks, inter-VLAN access rules, and isolated network zones on managed switches.
Why use it?
It limits which systems can communicate, reducing the spread of an attack or mistake. VLANs need firewall or Layer 3 filtering to provide meaningful separation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

configuring-network-segmentation-with-vlans scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Configuring Network Segmentation with VLANs

When to Use

  • Segmenting an enterprise network into isolated security zones (corporate, servers, DMZ, guest, IoT)
  • Meeting compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2) that mandate network isolation for sensitive data
  • Reducing blast radius of security incidents by preventing lateral movement between network segments
  • Isolating high-risk devices (IoT, BYOD, legacy systems) from critical infrastructure
  • Implementing defense-in-depth by combining VLANs with firewall rules and access control lists

Do not use VLANs as the sole security control without Layer 3 filtering, for isolating networks that require air-gapping, or without proper switch hardening against VLAN hopping attacks.

Prerequisites

  • Managed switches supporting 802.1Q VLAN trunking (Cisco Catalyst, HP Aruba, Juniper EX, etc.)
  • Layer 3 switch or firewall for inter-VLAN routing and access control
  • Network design document specifying VLAN assignments, IP subnets, and traffic flow requirements
  • Console or SSH access to switches with privileged configuration mode
  • Understanding of 802.1Q trunking, STP, and inter-VLAN routing concepts

Workflow

Step 1: Design the VLAN Architecture

# Define VLANs based on security zones and function

VLAN Plan:
  VLAN 10  - CORPORATE    (10.10.10.0/24)  - Employee workstations
  VLAN 20  - SERVERS      (10.10.20.0/24)  - Internal servers
  VLAN 30  - DMZ          (10.10.30.0/24)  - Internet-facing servers
  VLAN 40  - GUEST        (10.10.40.0/24)  - Guest WiFi
  VLAN 50  - IOT          (10.10.50.0/24)  - IoT/OT devices
  VLAN 60  - VOIP         (10.10.60.0/24)  - VoIP phones
  VLAN 100 - MANAGEMENT   (10.10.100.0/24) - Switch/AP management
  VLAN 999 - QUARANTINE   (10.10.99.0/24)  - Isolated/compromised hosts
  VLAN 998 - NATIVE_UNUSED                  - Native VLAN (no traffic)

# Traffic flow matrix:
# CORPORATE -> SERVERS: Allowed (specific ports)
# CORPORATE -> DMZ: Allowed (HTTP/HTTPS only)
# CORPORATE -> GUEST: Denied
# CORPORATE -> IOT: Denied
# GUEST -> Any Internal: Denied
# IOT -> SERVERS: Allowed (specific ports to specific hosts only)
# DMZ -> SERVERS: Allowed (database ports only)
# MANAGEMENT -> All: Allowed (from management stations only)

configuring-network-segmentation-with-vlans is a skill published in the GitHub repository 26zl/cybersec-toolkit (52 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 4,116 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
