What Is VLAN Hopping Attacks? VLAN hopping is a type of network attack that exploits certain properties of the VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) setup, particularly on switches, to gain unauthorized access to traffic of other VLANs that would normally be restricted. VLANs are used to segment network traffic, with the purpose of increasing security and performance by… Read More »
What Is Native VLANs? A Native VLAN is a term used in networking, mainly in the context of VLAN tagging which is a part of the IEEE 802.1Q standard. In a VLAN setup, multiple virtual networks are configured on a single physical network infrastructure to segment traffic for efficiency and security purposes. The Native VLAN plays a special… Read More »
What Is InterVLAN? We define inter-VLAN routing as a process of forwarding network traffic from one VLAN to another VLAN using a router or layer 3 device. A VLAN is a sub-group within a network, which partitions and isolates network traffic at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. VLANs are used to segment networks for… Read More »
IP Subnet allows you to create multiple logical networks that exist within a single Class A, B, or C network. In IP Subnetting, you can divide a large network into smaller subnetworks, which can improve overall network performance and security. Subnetting also helps in optimizing the allocation of IP addresses and efficiently using available address space. By segmenting… Read More »
What are IPv6 Routing Protocols? IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) routing protocols are next generation protocols that are essentially, components in the functioning of the IPv6 network layer.If you must know; routing protocols facilitate the exchange of routing information between routers, enabling them to make informed decisions about the best paths to reach various destinations in an IPv6… Read More »
