CCNA 2 v7.0 Final - What Protocol

HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol)

This is exclusive to Cisco and allows a default router address to be configured to be used in the event that the primary router fails. defines a group of routers, one of them defined as active and another one as standby

EtherChannel

multiple Ethernet links combined to form a single load-balancing link

DTP (Dynamic Trunk Protocol)

when you connect a switch, it automatically has access to all vlans as a trunk link to make network connectivity easy manages trunk negotiations between switches

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)

A Layer 2 protocol that is used for routing and prevents looping by adopting a dynamic routing method.

VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol)

Cisco's protocol for exchanging VLAN information over trunks. allows one switch on a network to centrally manage all VLANs. requires switches to be in server mode or client mode
