VLAN Identification – Your Ultimate Guide to Master VLAN Tagging (Updated 2025)

By

Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are a cornerstone of modern network design, enabling segmentation, security, and efficient traffic management in Ethernet networks. For CCNA and CCNP students, mastering VLAN tagging for VLAN identification, particularly the IEEE 802.1Q standard, is essential for configuring and troubleshooting Cisco switches. This article explores VLAN tagging, native VLANs, and voice… Read more

Controlling Broadcast Domains – Unlock Powerful Network Efficiency Now! 2025 Guide

By

Network without VLANs Controlling Broadcast Domains is essential for optimizing network performance, especially in environments where broadcast traffic can overwhelm resources. In the default configuration, when a switch receives a broadcast frame on its ingress ports, it forwards the frame out all ports, excluding the port where the frame was received. Because the whole network

Master Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)- Defeat Traffic Issues Effectively! 2025 Guide

By

Separation of the large broadcast domain into smaller ones improves network performance. By design, routers block broadcast traffic. But routers usually have a limited number of LAN interfaces. A router’s main role is to move data between different networks. Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enhance network performance by segmenting large broadcast domains into smaller, manageable
