chapter 2 Flashcards
VLAN
a logical group of end devices
Modern design of a vlan
1 Vlan = 1 ip subnet
Trunks
connect switches to transport multiple vlans across a single physical link (multiplexing)
How far should a vlan at the access layer extend
no further than their associated distribution switch
how do you disable trunk negotiation on a switch port
change the mode to access
“Switchport mode access”
ISL Inter Switch Link
cisco proprietary trunking protocol
802.1Q IEEE
a widely supported industry standard protocol
native vlan
an untagged vlan on an 802.1q trunked switchport
DTP Dynamic Trunking Protocol
a cisco proprietary protocol for dynamically negotiating trunk links
DTP port mode Acess
permanent non-trunking mode
DTP port mode Trunk
permanent trunking mode
DTP port mode Nonegotiate
permanent trunking mode but prevents the interface from generating dtp frames used to connect devices that do not support dtp
DTP port mode Dynamic desirable
the interface attempts to convert the link to a trunk link
DTP port mode auto
the interface is willing to convert the link to a trunk link but nodes not negotiate it this is the default mode
VTP Vlan Trunking Protocol
cisco-proprietary protocol that automates the propagation of vlan information between switches via trunk links to minimize misconfigurations
