VLAN TROUBLESHOOTING
- Switches flood broadcasts out all ports, which consumes unnecessary bandwidth. As the number of devices connected to a switch increases, more broadcast traffic is generated and more bandwidth is wasted.
- Every device that is attached to a switch can forward and receive frames from every other device on that switch.
A VLAN is a logical broadcast domain that can span multiple physical LAN segments. It allows an administrator to group together stations by logical function, by project teams, or by applications, without regard to physical location of the users.
NOTE: Concept is to understand art of troubleshooting VLAN network and basic knowledge involving advantage of VLAN and its security.
