To provide the ability to do switching in hardware
To support latency-sensitive applications like voice traffic
What information is used to separate VLANs on a VLAN trunk that connects multiple VLANs? A. VLAN tag. B. IP Header. C. FCS. D. Priority Value.
VLAN tag
Which of the following are functions of VLANs? (Choose two.) A. VLANs can group ports on multiple switches into unified broadcast domains B. VLANs allow multiple Ethernet switches to be connected in a single collision domain C. VLANs can separate ports on the same switch into different broadcast domains D. VLANs can group ports on the same switch into different collision domains
VLANs can group ports on multiple switches into unified broadcast domains VLANs can separate ports on the same switch into different broadcast domains
When does an Ethernet switch record a MAC address in its MAC FDB?
When it receives an Ethernet frame, it records the source MAC address an the interface on which it arrived to its MAC forwarding table (FDB)
Why does CSMA/CD result in half duplex transmission?
When two hosts transmit frames simultaneously, they both detect collision. Both hosts will generate a jam signal to notify all other hosts. A random back-off timer starts on both transmitting hosts. Either host will start transmission after they detect no other transmission on the medium which results in only one host successfully transmitting at a time, resulting in half-duplex transmission
What are the advantages of using VLANs in an Ethernet network?
decreases broadcast traffic provides network security at Link layer because it limits user access to VLAN membership keeps each user group's data separated from all others during service delivery requires no router
Broadcast domain
every Ethernet device within a LAN will receive and process all broadcast packets.
