Physical Interface and Cabling Types refers to the ways in which different devices on the network connect to each other physically, as well as the types of cables used for these connections. This includes the physical ports, connectors, and cables that are used to establish a connection between devices such as computers, routers, and other networking equipment. Physical… Read More »
Network topology architectures refer to the overall layout or structure of a computer network. Different network topology architectures have their own characteristics that define how devices are interconnected and how data flows within the network. Below are examples of Network Topology Architectures including 2 tier, 3 tier, Spine-leaf, WAN, Small office/home office (SOHO), and On-premises and cloud. i.… Read More »
Interswitch connectivity involves connecting multiple switches to form a larger network, allowing devices connected to different switches to communicate as if they were on the same switch. This process relies on several key concepts: trunk ports, 802.1Q, and native VLAN. a. Trunk Ports Trunk ports are switch ports configured to carry traffic for multiple VLANs (Virtual Local Area… Read More »
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 Router-on-a-Stick Inter-VLANs Sub-interfaces? Router-on-a-Stick Inter-VLANs is a network setup that enhances communication between various VLANs on a single network device. It Involves connecting a single physical interface of a router to a switch, along with configuring multiple logical sub-interfaces on the router. This setup allows for the routing of traffic between different VLANs without the need… Read More »
