Study Notes
Dividing Networks using Switches
- Dividing a single network into multiple virtual networks using switches is known as network segmentation.
- This process involves dividing switch ports into multiple groups, ensuring that devices connected to one group cannot access devices connected to another group.
Benefits of Network Segmentation
- Improves network performance by reducing unnecessary traffic.
- Provides network security by isolating devices from each other.
- Simplifies network management by making it more manageable.
Improved Network Performance
- When a network is divided into multiple virtual networks, each virtual network only communicates with other virtual networks that need to communicate with it.
- This reduces network congestion and improves overall network performance.
