© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide CHAPTER 8: Virtual LANs (VLANs)
2
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. The CCNA exam topics covered in this chapter include the following: Implementation & Operation Configure a switch with VLANS and inter- switch communication Implement a LAN Customize a switch configuration to meet specified network requirements Troubleshooting Perform LAN and VLAN troubleshooting
3
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Virtual LANs (VLANs) Definition: A logical grouping of network users and resources connected to administratively defined ports on a switch. –Smaller broadcast domains –Organized by: Location Function Department Application or protocol
4

5
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Features of VLANs Simplify network management Provides a level of security over a flat network Flexibility and Scalability
6
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Broadcast Control Broadcasts occur in every protocol Bandwidth & Broadcasts Flat network VLANs & Broadcasts
7
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Flat Network Structure
8
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Security Flat network problems VLANs
9
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Flexibility & Scalability Layer-2 switches only read frames –Can cause a switch to forward all broadcasts VLANs –Essentially create broadcast domains Greatly reduces broadcast traffic Ability to add wanted users to a VLAN regardless of their physical location Additional VLANs can be created when network growth consumes more bandwidth

11
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Physical LANs Connected To A Router
12
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. VLANs Remove The Physical Boundary
13
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. VLAN Memberships Static VLANs –Typical method of creating VLANs –Most secure A switch port assigned to a VLAN always maintains that assignment until changed Dynamic VLANs –Node assignment to a VLAN is automatic MAC addresses, protocols, network addresses, etc –VLAN Management Policy Server (VMPS) MAC address database for dynamic assignments MAC-address to VLAN mapping
14
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Identifying VLANs Access links –A link that is part of only one VLAN Trunk links –Carries multiple VLANs
15
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Identifying VLANs (cont.)
16
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Frame Tagging Definition: A means of keeping track of users & frames as they travel the switch fabric & VLANs –User-defined ID assigned to each frame –VLAN ID is removed before exiting trunked links & access links
17
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. VLAN ID Methods Inter-Switch Link (ISL) –Cisco proprietary –FastEthernet & Gibabit Ethernet only IEEE 802.1q –Must use if trunking between Cisco & non-Cisco switch
18
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Protocol Definition: A means of explicitly tagging VLAN information onto an Ethernet frame –Allows VLANs to be multiplexed over a trunk line –Cisco proprietary –External tagging process
19
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) Purpose: to manage all configured VLANs across a switch internetwork & maintain consistency –Allows an administrator to add, delete, & rename VLANs
20
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. VTP Benefits Benefits –Consistent configuration –Permits trunking over mixed networks –Accurate tracking –Dynamic reporting –Plug-and-Play A VTP server must be created to manage VLANs
21
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. VTP Modes
22
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. VTP Modes of Operation Server –Default for all Catalyst switches –Minimum one server for a VTP domain Client –Receives information + sends/receives updates –Cannot make any changes Transparent –Does not participate in a VTP domain but forwards VTP advertisements –Can add/delete VLANs –Locally significant
23
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Router with Individual VLAN associations
24
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Routing Between VLANs
25
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Configuring VLANs Creating VLANs Assigning Switch Ports to VLANs Configuring Trunk Ports Configuring Inter-VLAN routing
26
© Wiley Inc. 2006. All Rights Reserved. Configuring VTP Switches are configured to be VTP servers by default.
