• Access link: An access link is a link that is part of only one VLAN, and normally access links are for end devices. Any device attached to an access link is unaware of a VLAN membership. An access-link connection can understand only standard Ethernet frames. Switches remove any VLAN information from the frame before it is sent to an access-link device.
• Trunk link: A Trunk link can carry multiple VLAN traffic and normally a trunk link is used to connect switches to other switches or to routers. To identify the VLAN that a frame belongs to, Cisco switches support different identification techniques (VLAN Frame tagging). Our focus for CCNA examination is on Inter-Switch Link (ISL) and 802.1Q.
A trunk link is not assigned to a specific VLAN. Many VLAN traffic can be transported between switches using a single physical trunk link.

What is the difference between direct message passing and indirect message passing?
În direct message passing communication, the endpoints (client and server) communicate via direct addressing. This means that the sender knows the exact address (ip for ex) of the receiver. In indirect communication, the link between the sender and the receiver is done via a port instead of direct addresses. The port acts as a mailbox for the messages and the sender doesn't need to know the exact ip of the receiver. The sender simply sends the message via a port and the receiver collects the message from that port. This way of communicating has several advantages over the direct way (for example it allows multipoint and multipath communication)
Which piece of software is designed to protect against unauthorized communications to and from a computer?

What is switchport mode configuration?
Switchport mode allows for the configuration of a port into certain settings. A few examples are Access, Trunk, and Dynamic. Each mode allows for different functions. Access mode is used for end devices, this allows for certain port security settings. Trunk mode is used for lines between switches and other lines that send multiple VLANs over a single connection. Dynamic will automatically detect what kind of device is connected and initiate its port accordingly.
