Study Notes
Subnetting
- Subnetting, or classless addressing, modifies classful IPv4 addressing.
- It involves borrowing bits from the host portion of the address to create additional network bits.
- This increases the number of available networks but reduces the number of hosts per network.
- Subnetting processes include determining the subnet mask, network IDs, and host IP address ranges. Calculations can be done using binary or formulas.
- Exam questions often involve calculating subnets given network requirements or identifying subnet details from an IP address.
VLANs and Trunking
- VLANs (Virtual LANs) segment a physical network into multiple logical networks.
- Switch ports are configured as either access ports (connecting to hosts) or trunk ports (connecting to other network devices, carrying traffic from multiple VLANs).
- Trunking protocols (like Cisco's VTP) manage VLAN traffic across trunk links.
- A trunk is a single physical connection carrying multiple logical VLANs.
VLAN Types and Configuration
- Common VLAN types include default, native, data, management, voice, and private VLANs.
- Private VLANs further subdivide broadcast domains into isolated and community VLANs.
- VLANs are configured and managed through switch software (e.g., using the
show vlancommand on Cisco switches). - VLANs can be assigned dynamically based on MAC addresses, location, or authentication.
VLAN Security and Troubleshooting
- Common VLAN configuration errors include incorrect assignments, port modes, or isolation issues.
- VLAN hopping is a security threat where attackers exploit vulnerabilities to access unauthorized VLANs. Methods used include double tagging and switch spoofing.
- Devices failing authentication might be placed in a quarantine VLAN. All WLAN traffic may be grouped in a single VLAN for management purposes.
