105
Q

What is tagging

A

When a VLAN port group is extended to another device

106
Q

What is a native VLAN

A

A VLAN that handles traffic that is not tagged

107
Q

Name some uses for VLANs

A
  • Traffic management
  • It can be used to isolate a group of computers on their one VLAN
  • To separate nodes based on traffic type and the need for quality ofservice
108
Q

Can VLANs be extended beyond a single switch

109
Q

Can VLAN tagging keep different customer’s traffic separate

110
Q

Can VLANs communicate with one another

A

Only if you use a router to send packets between them; otherwise. VLANs can only communicate with nodes located within that VLAN

111
Q

How can ports be assigned on a VLAN

A

Manually configuring each port on a switch to belong to a particular VLAN

Associating a VLAN with a node’s MAC address

112
Q

What is the advantage of assigning a port on a VLAN

A

If a user moves between locations, pligging a device into different ports the node always stays in the same VLAN

113
Q

What is port mirroring

A

The practice of duplicating all traffic on one port in a switch to a second port

114
Q

What are the types of port mirroring

A

Local port mirroring

115
Q

What is trunking

A

Linkd]s can be combined to increase bandwidth and reliabiity

116
Q

Link Aggregation Control Protocol

A

a method to control the bundling of several physical ports

117
Q

What is the primary purpose of link aggregation
