 What is the role of a router ?

 What is a broadcast Domain ?

 Which layer’s devices separate broadcast domains by default?
 Which devices provide access to a LAN ?
 Separating Broadcast domains will increase the network performance in a LAN.Why?
 How can we separate large broadcast domains apart from using layer 3 devices ( using L2
devices )?
 What is a VLAN ?How can it replace the functionality of a router in BC separation ?
 Devices in the same VLAN must be physically connected with wires .True/False ?Why
 Advantages of using VLANs(grouping devices into separate VLANs) ?
 In a VLAN packets are forwarded between devices in the same VLAN so how can hosts in 2
separate VLANs communicate ?
 How do VLANs improve IT efficiency ?
 What are the types of VLANs ?
 Which VLAN is the default VLAN by default? Which command do you use to know all switch
ports assigned to a VLAN?
 What are VLAN Trunks ?
 Why are the frames tagged before transmission on a trunk ?
 How can we assign VLAN trunks , do you have to do it on both sides to be activated ?
 How can you change the port-vlan membership ?
 What is the purpose of DTP protocol?
 What is the condition on port configuration to support DTP negotiation?
 Switch port modes are access , trunk ports .Explain the Difference between Access ports –Trunk
ports ?
 Explain Modes of operation of DTP protocol ?(nonegotiate , dynamic auto , dynamic desirable)
 Is the control traffic on native VLANs tagged ? What happens if the native VLAN receives a
tagged frame with a VLAN id similar to native VLAN?
 What happens when a switch trunk port receives untagged frames ?
