Virtual LANs
A flat network is a single
broadcast domain
flat networks cannot contain
redundant paths for load
balancing
To gain any advantage from
additional paths to a
destination, Layer 3 routing
functions must be
introduced.

VLAN Membership
Static VLAN configuration
Dynamic VLAN assignment
Configuring Static VLANs
VLAN 1 is the default VLAN for every switch port.
VLANs 1002 to 1005 legacy (Token Ring and FDDI
switching)
Catalyst switches can also support extended-range
VLAN numbers 1006 through 4094 vtp mode
transparent (VTP Versions 1 and 2 limitation) no
problem with VTP mode v3

Dynamic VLANs
based on the MAC address of an end-user device
A network administrator also must assign the users MAC address to
aVLAN in the database of a VLAN Membership Policy Server (VMPS)

Deploying VLANs
the number of VLANs depends on traffic patterns,
application types, segmentation, and networkmanagement requirements
you should not allow VLANs to extend beyond the
Layer 2 domain of a distribution switch
VLANs can be scaled in the switch block by using
two basic methods:
End-to-end VLANs
Local VLANs

End-to-End VLANs
following the 80/20 rule
Local VLANs
20/80 rule
L3 functionality in distribution
And core

VLAN Trunks
VLAN Frame Identification
ID as the VLAN number or VLAN unique color
Inter-Switch Link (ISL) protocol
IEEE 802.1Q protocol

Inter-Switch Link
Protocol
Cisco-proprietary
ISL adds a 26-byte header and a 4byte trailer to the frame.
The source VLAN is identified with a 15-bit
The trailer contains a cyclic
redundancy check (CRC) value to ensure the
data integrity

Voice VLANs
The voice
packets must be
carried over a
unique voice
VLAN (known as
the voice VLAN ID
or VVID) or over
the regular data
VLAN (known as
the native VLAN
or the port VLAN
ID, PVID)

Wireless VLANs
SWITCH exam might not cover wireless AP support
Cisco APs can operate in one of the two following modes:
Autonomous mode: The AP operates independently
and directly connects VLANs to WLANs on
a one-to-one basis.
Lightweight mode: The AP must join and cooperate
with a wireless LAN controller located
elsewhere on the network. The AP connects each of its
own WLANs with a VLAN connected to
the controller. All of the VLAN-WLAN traffic is
encapsulated and carried over a special tunnel
between the AP and the controller.
