In this paper, I will be introducing the technology of Private VLANs (PVLANs) and VLAN ACLs (VACLs) and discussing how they can add security to the defense in depth model. I will also discuss the security requirements for a small business, GIAC Enterprises, and look in detail at the security devices that make up their infrastructure. Finally, I will go into even greater detail for two of these devices, the router and firewall, and look at the specifics for the security policy of each device.
