CHAPTER 1 Understanding Virtual Local Area Networks
Overview
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a set of workstations within a LAN that can communicate with each other as
though they were on a single, isolated LAN.
The three major interface types of a VLAN are:
• Access (untagged)
• Trunk (only tagged)
• Hybrid (a combination of both tagged and untagged on the same interface)

CHAPTER 2 Understanding Link Aggregation Groups
Overview
A Link Aggregation Group (LAG) is the method of combining individual physical network interfaces or ports to increase
the capacity of the link to support and sustain beyond the individual port capability. Link Aggregation also supports
failover when one link ceases to operate. The standard for LAG operation is IEEE 802.3ad.
Link Aggregation operates above the physical network interface and the 802.1X layer. For aggregating links, the
physical port has to be link up and authenticated as applicable. For all the higher layers, when Link Aggregation is
effective, ports are visible as logical aggregated ports. Features such as STP, VLAN, FDB, and multicasting operate on
both physical ports as well as Link Aggregated Logical Ports.
A LAG can be configured in two modes:
• Dynamic LAG (LACP)
• Static LAG

determining the system that is responsible for resolving

CHAPTER 3 Understanding Link Layer Discovery Protocol
Overview
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is used to advertise the following to other stations attached to the same
LAN:
• The major capabilities provided by the system incorporating that station
• The management address or addresses of the entity or entities that provide management of those capabilities
• The identification of the station’s point of attachment to the LAN required by those management entity or entities

CHAPTER 5 Understanding Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
Overview
The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) provides rapid convergence of a spanning tree. RSTP speeds up the
reconfiguration of the tree after a change by using alternate ports.

CHAPTER 6 Understanding Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
Overview
The Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) allows multiple VLANs to be grouped into one spanning-tree instance.
Every MST instance has a spanning-tree that is independent of other spanning-tree instances providing multiple
forwarding paths for data traffic.
