VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)

This course offers a focused study on VLANs, beginning with an understanding of network segmentation and VLAN fundamentals, including VLAN numbers and relationships with subnets. The course guides students through the setup and exploration of Cisco Packet Tracer, a simulation tool used to practice network configurations. It covers Cisco IOS user modes and details the process of configuring VLANs on Cisco switches. Additional lessons discuss VLAN membership, MAC address table creation, and VLAN trunking, with practical demonstrations on setting up access, trunk, and dynamic ports using Packet Tracer. This chapter provides hands-on experience in managing and configuring VLANs to enhance network efficiency and security.
