How Network Switch Works. Switching is a fundamental concept in network design, particularly in the area of Local Area Networks (LANs). Network Switching Device A network switching device is a crucial component in modern computer networks, allowing for the efficient routing of data packets between different devices. These devices come in various forms, such as routers, switches, and… Read More »
What Is MPLS? Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a network routing technique used in telecommunications networks to speed up and shape traffic flows. It operates between the Layer 2 (data link layer) and Layer 3 (network layer), and is often referred to as a Layer 2.5 protocol. The primary purpose of MPLS is to ensure efficient and reliable… Read More »
By configuring EtherChannel, we bundle multiple physical connections between two or more Cisco switches into one logical link. This allows for increased bandwidth, improved fault tolerance, and load balancing across the aggregated links. EtherChannel also provides a more efficient use of available network resources and simplifies the management of network connections between switches. In a conventional network where… Read More »
What are the Types of STP? The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) standards are a set of network protocols that ensure a loop-free topology for Ethernet networks.The basic idea behind STP is to prevent network disruptions caused by loops, which are common in Ethernet networks. STP works by organizing the network’s switches into a hierarchy and blocking certain redundant… Read More »
What is Wide Area Networks? A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographic area for the purpose of computer networking. WANs are used to connect smaller networks, like local area networks (LANs) or metro area networks (MANs), enabling computers and users in one location to communicate with computers and users in… Read More »
