3.4.6 Lab – Configure VLANs and Trunking Answers
Objectives Part 1: Construct the Network and Configure the Device's Basic Settings Create VLANs and assign switch ports in Section 2. Maintenance of VLAN Port Assignments and the VLAN Database Configure an 802.1Q Trunk between the Switches in Section 4. Section 5: Deletion of the VLAN Database Context / Scenario Modern switches use virtual local-area networks (VLANs) to enhance network performance by dividing huge Layer 2 broadcast domains into smaller ones. By regulating which hosts may interact, VLANs can also be employed as a security precaution. VLANs make it simpler to create a network to meet an organization's objectives. VLAN trunks are used to connect VLANs on numerous devices. Trunks provide traffic from many VLANS to traverse over a single connection while maintaining VLAN identification and segmentation. In this lab, you will create VLANs on both switches in the topology, assign VLANs to switch access ports, verify that VLANs are functioning as expected, and then cre...
