PPP performs Layer 2 authentication through protocols such as PAP and CHAP. These protocols require the remote device to prove its identity before allowing data traffic transmission, bolstering network security.
What Is Router on a Stick Inter-VLAN Routing? Router on a stick interVLAN routing is a computer networking method used for managing traffic between different VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) on a single physical router interface. This method is often employed in small or medium-sized networks where there is a need for inter-VLAN routing but not enough traffic… Read More »
