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 »
How Is Root Port Selected on a Switch? The concept of a “Root Port” falls in the operational area of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) , particularly in Ethernet networks using switches. STP is a network protocol designed to prevent loop formation in networks with redundant paths. Within the context of STP, the Root Port plays a crucial… Read More »
How To Configure VLAN In order to configure a VLAN, you will need to access the switch’s management interface and navigate to the VLAN configuration section. From there, you can create new VLANs, assign ports to specific VLANs, and configure VLAN settings such as VLAN IDs and names. Make sure to save your changes once you have finished… Read More »
What is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)? STP is used by switches to prevent loops from occurring on a network, this process is implemented by using the spanning tree algorithm to disable unwanted links and blocking ports that could cause a loop. Here are the key points about STP: Purpose: In a network with multiple paths between switches,… Read More »
