  2. VLAN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLAN

    A virtual local area network (VLAN) is any broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a computer network at the data link layer (OSI layer 2). [2][3] In this context, virtual refers to a physical object recreated and altered by additional logic, within the local area network. Basically, a VLAN behaves like a virtual switch or network ...

  3. Multilayer switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilayer_switch

    Multilayer switch. Network switch providing functionality above the data link layer. A multilayer switch (MLS) is a computer networking device that switches on OSI layer 2 like an ordinary network switch and provides extra functions on higher OSI layers. The MLS was invented [1] by engineers at Digital Equipment Corporation.

  4. IEEE 802.1Q - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1Q

    IEEE 802.1Q. IEEE 802.1Q, often referred to as Dot1q, is the networking standard that supports virtual local area networking (VLANs) on an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet network. The standard defines a system of VLAN tagging for Ethernet frames and the accompanying procedures to be used by bridges and switches in handling such frames.

  5. Network switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, Ethernet switch, and, by the IEEE, MAC bridge[1]) is networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device. A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data at ...

  6. Spanning Tree Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_Tree_Protocol

    The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that builds a loop-free logical topology for Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. Spanning tree also allows a network design to include backup links providing fault tolerance if an active link fails.

  7. Private VLAN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_VLAN

    Private VLAN. Private VLAN, also known as port isolation, is a technique in computer networking where a VLAN contains switch ports that are restricted such that they can only communicate with a given uplink. The restricted ports are called private ports. Each private VLAN typically contains many private ports, and a single uplink.

  8. VLAN Trunking Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLAN_Trunking_Protocol

    VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) is a Cisco proprietary protocol that propagates the definition of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) on the whole local area network. [1] To do this, VTP carries VLAN information to all the switches in a VTP domain. VTP advertisements can be sent over 802.1Q, and ISL trunks. VTP is available on most of the Cisco ...

  9. IEEE 802.1ad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1ad

    IEEE 802.1ad. IEEE 802.1ad is an amendment to the IEEE 802.1Q-1998 networking standard which adds support for provider bridges. It was incorporated into the base 802.1Q standard in 2011. [1] The technique specified by the standard is known informally as stacked VLANs or QinQ. The original 802.1Q specification allows a single virtual local area ...
