VTP -Password Error VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) is a Cisco-developed protocol that enhances the management of VLAN configurations across a switched network. VTP allows network admins to centrally control VLAN information, which is then distributed to all switches in the VTP domain, ensuring that all switches have consistent VLAN information. VTP uses a password as a security feature… Read More »
VTP has three different modes of operation within a domain: Server, Client and transparent. VLANs Trunking Protocol – VTP uses advertisements to communicate VLAN information between switches in a network. When a switch is configured as a VTP server, it can create, modify, and delete VLANs, which are then propagated to other switches in the same VTP domain.… Read More »
What is VTP Pruning? VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) pruning is a feature in Cisco network switches that optimizes the use of bandwidth by reducing unnecessary traffic related to VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). Simply put, it is a technique for controlling the distribution of VLAN details throughout a network.This technique helps to ensure that VLAN configurations are consistent… Read More »
If you had been studying EtherChannel; you will understand that it is a port link aggregation technology developed by Cisco, used primarily in networking to combine multiple physical Ethernet links into a single logical link. This aggregation method enhances the bandwidth and reliability of the network connection. Here are key aspects of EtherChannel: Bandwidth Improvement: By combining, for… Read More »
How To Troubleshoot InterVLAN Routing. What is Inter-VLAN Routing? Inter-VLAN routing involves routing network traffic between various VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). VLANs are utilized to divide a larger network into smaller, isolated networks to enhance security, improve traffic management, and boost performance. In order for devices in different VLANs to communicate with each other, a router or… Read More »
