I'm assigning IP addresses for all devices on my network which has multiple VLANs. For a few of my devices, such as my iPhone and MacBook, I need to be able to sign into each of the VLANs. While I could just let the router assign an IP address for these devices, I'd like to set their IP address for each of the VLANs.
My question is, can the same device (i.e., MAC address) be assigned a different IP address on each VLAN (e.g., 198.162.1.12, 198.162.30.12, etc.).
If using WiFi, the SSID does define the VLAN (aka. network) you are connecting to. On one SSID, you might use the "Private Wi-Fi" address on both, or at least one one if these SSIDs. This leads for the each "network" having a dedicated, different MAC address - which you can use to reserve IP addresses for each subnet then. Should you delete the WiFi network, and reconfigure the "same" network, don't forget the "Private Wi-Fi Address" will change.
There is no such thing like "sign on" to a VLAN. The above trick does not exist for wired connection. When using a cabled connection, you need to re-plug between two ports where each is configured like an access port (untagged, PVID==VLANid).
