VLANs
What is the purpose of VLANs
• Broadcast control is the main purpose of vlans
• Other purpose of creating vlans
>VLANs provide network security
>VLANs provide network segmentation
>VLANs provide flexibility – a user can easily move across the physical location and still remain
in the same vlan
What is IEEE802.1Q?
To achieve trunking on trunk ports we need IEEE802.1Q (dot1q). Dot1q is an industry
standard
In dot1q - a 4 byte tag is inserted into the frame. The original frame is modified and CRC is
recalculated
In dot1q the native vlan frames go untagged

Subnet Mask
An IP Address is an identifier for a computer or device on a network
Two versions – IPv4 and IPv6
IPv4 – 32 bit numeric address written as 4 numbers separated by periods e.g
192.168.1.0. Each group of numbers is called an octet.
An IP address consists of two parts: Network Address and Host Address

Subnet Mask
A Subnet Mask is a number that resembles an IP address. It reveals how many bits in
the IP address are used for the network by masking the network portion of the IP
address
