What is meant by Multi-switch VLANs? · Simply, Multiswitch VLANs are VLANs in networks that have multiple interconnected switches. For example, if there are 3 VLANS, VLAN1, VLAN2 & VLAN3. All these VLANs can be assigned to any number of switches that are interconnected. · The switches need to use VLAN trunking on the links between the switches. VLAN Trunking means VLAN trunking is a link between 2 switches that supports as many VLANs as you require. VLAN trunking can be accomplished using a process called VLAN tagging . VLAN tagging means VLAN tagging is a process in which the sending switch adds a VLAN header to the frame before sending it over the trunk. This VLAN trunking header contains a VLAN identifier (VLAN ID) field so that the sending switch can relate the frame with a specific VLAN ID, and the receiving switch can then know the VLAN each frame belong t...
Technology simplified. This blog explains Computers and Networking basics in simple words which transfers my knowledge to others and to review myself the explained concepts in future. Our vision is to help our readers to understand the basic concepts of PC and networking. This little effort may help CCENT, CCNA and A+ certifications study group.
