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 are IP Management Access Connections? In wireless networking, AP (Access Point) and WLC (Wireless LAN Controller) management access connections refer to the methods and protocols used to configure, manage, and monitor these devices. AP (Access Point): An Access Point is a device that creates a wireless local area network (WLAN), usually in an office or large building.… 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 »
What Is Link Layer Discovery Protocol – LLDP? Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a generic network protocol defined by the IEEE 802.1AB standard. Its main function is to enable network devices such as switches, routers, and wireless access points to discover information about each other. This operation happens at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the… Read More »
What Is IP Network Protocols? As of this publication, there have been several protocols developed that are faster and more modern compared to traditional ones like PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol). These protocols are designed to cater to the demands of high-speed internet, more complex network architectures, and the need for enhanced security and efficiency. Before we delve into the… Read More »
