This course focuses on Virtual LANs (VLANs), which were created by the different switch manufacturers to provide individual broadcast domains. By assigning each port to an individual VLAN, each VLAN becomes its own broadcast domain. Additional topics presented include VLAN trunks, pruning, route processing, and troubleshooting switched connections and routing configuration
Objectives:
Differentiate between trunk links and access links
Use VTP and VTP pruning
Differentiate between dynamic and static VLAN ports
Differentiate between internal and external route processing
Configure VLANs, trunking, VTP, and VTP pruning on a Catalyst switches
Troubleshoot switched connections
Troubleshoot inter-VLAN routing configurations

VLAN Trunks
The VLAN Trunk Protocol
