VLAN is a group of hosts with a common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of their physical location. Inter VLAN is defined as two VLANS connected to each other and communicating.

What is Difference between access link and trunk link?

What is the difference between a access port and a trunk port?

• 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 purpose of the vlan database?

Vlan database is vlan.bat file which is stored in flash memory and earlier in NVRAM. It is used to store vlan information. we can take back up of this file.

A Vlan can be used to reduced the amount of background chatter on the network from other devices not used by VOIP.

How do you connect computers on separate VLAN?

Since VLAN's cannot communicate with other VLAN's directly, I believe you would have to set up a router to do that. I would check out how to set up a bridge between two VLAN's.

vlan trunking protocols. eg :802.1q ,ISL


What is the difference between switch's interface and VLAN interface?

A switch's interface typically refers to the physical ports on the switch through which devices connect, allowing for data transmission within the same local network. In contrast, a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) interface is a logical interface associated with a specific VLAN, enabling Layer 3 IP routing and communication between different VLANs. While switch interfaces handle traffic for individual devices, VLAN interfaces manage traffic for groups of devices segmented by VLANs, enhancing network organization and security.

What is a VLAN trunk?

A VLAN trunk allows for data to travel across a single link between two devices even if the data is from multiple VLANs. This allows for reduced cabling needed as for you won't have to run multiple cables between switches in order to have up-links for every VLAN.


What name is given to a vlan on an ieee 802.1q trunk whose frames are not tagged?

The name given to a VLAN on an IEEE 802.1Q trunk whose frames are not tagged is the "native VLAN." The native VLAN is used for untagged traffic on a trunk link, allowing devices that do not support VLAN tagging to communicate over the trunk. By default, VLAN 1 is designated as the native VLAN, but this can be changed to another VLAN as needed.


What is mean of shutdown vlan 17?

The command "shutdown vlan 17" is used in network configuration to disable VLAN 17 on a network switch. When executed, it effectively prevents any traffic from being forwarded through this VLAN, rendering it inactive. This can be useful for network management purposes, such as troubleshooting or reconfiguring the VLAN. To reactivate the VLAN, the command "no shutdown vlan 17" would be used.


What does VLAN stand for?

A VLAN is a virtual LAN. In technical terms, a VLAN is a broadcast domain created by switches. Normally, it is a router creating that broadcast domain. With VLANs, a switch can create the broadcast domain. This works by, you, the administrator, putting some switch ports in a VLAN other than 1, the default VLAN. All ports in a single VLAN are in a single broadcast domain. Because switches can talk to each other, some ports on switch A can be in VLAN 10 and other ports on switch B can be in VLAN 10. Broadcasts between these devices will not be seen on any other port in any other VLAN, other than 10. However, these devices can all communicate because they are on the same VLAN. Without additional configuration, they would not be able to communicate with any other devices, not in their VLAN.

Why should you reassign a port to another VLAN before removing the VLAN from the VLAN database?

Reassigning a port to another VLAN before removing the VLAN from the VLAN database ensures that there is no disruption in network connectivity for devices connected to that port. If a port is removed from a VLAN without reassignment, it may result in loss of access to the network for those devices, causing potential downtime and disruption. Additionally, this practice helps maintain network organization and prevents configuration errors that could arise from deleting a VLAN that still has active ports.
