VLAN

What is the purpose of VLAN trunking


What feature allows the switches to pass VLAN traffic between switches?

vlan trunking protocols. eg :802.1q ,ISL


What switching technique allows you to funnel traffic belonging to more than one VLAN?

Trunking


How does a switch that is configured for 802.1Q trunking handle untagged frames that are received on a trunk port?

The frames are assigned to the native VLAN.


Which three elements must be used when configuring a router interface for VLAN trunking?

One sub-interface per VLANA compatible trunking protocol encapsulation for each sub-interfaceOne IP network or sub-network for each sub-interface


How do you connect computers on separate VLAN?

Since VLAN's cannot communicate with other VLAN's directly, I believe you would have to set up a router to do that. I would check out how to set up a bridge between two VLAN's.


What switching technique allows you to funnel traffic belonging to more than one VLAN through a single switch interface?

The answer is 'Trunking'. The definition of trunking is = The aggregation of multiple logical connections on one physical connection between connectivity devices. In the case of VLANS, trunking allows data from multiple VLANS to share interface on a switch. Network + Guide To Networks Review Question Chapter 6 #18


Which type of VLAN would accommodate untagged traffic on a 802.1q trunk port?

native vlan


Why would packets from the router or hosts fail when trying to reach the switch management interfaces if the native VLAN were left in default?

The native VLAN is untagged. If the VLAN 99 traffic to the router is untagged (as it would be, because that is native on the switches), the router cannot interpret the data because there is no VLAN information in the header as expected. In turn, the router tags all VLAN 99 traffic outbound, and leaves VLAN 1 data untagged, so the switches are unable to correctly interpret either. VLAN traffic to the other VLANs should not be affected by the assignment of the native VLAN.


What layer of osi model does vlan operate?

VLAN's, or virutal local area networks, appear at the application level or Level 7 o the OSI model. VLAN's use tagging or pot+tagging to route traffic to and from a specific area (like a specific departement in a business). VLAN technology relies on ethernet connectivity throughout the network it functions on (a more ubiquitious medium than standard trunking and TCIP, etc). VLAN's require an edge switch to tag the outgoing traffic and recieve the incomming traffic and allows you to prioritize traffic (tagged v/s untagged) so you can provide services like ip telephony, video sessions, SIP, etc.
