Layer 2 switches are typically deployed at the access layer and cannot function as gateways of users. Precautions Switch configurations used in this example apply to S series switches running V600. This example uses router configurations of AR651 V300R022C10. For other router configurations, see ...
Layer 2 switches are typically deployed at the access layer and cannot function as gateways of users. Configuration Notes Switch configurations used in this example apply to all versions ofS12700 and S12700Eswitches. This example uses router configurations of AR...
For example, the Switch can be configured to implement four Gigabit Ethernet ports and twelve Fast Ethernet ports or non-standard configurations such as a 2Gbps port with multiple 200Mbps ports. Figure 4: Switch Block Diagram The switch does not require any external device apart from a ...
The Layer 3 switch combines the Layer 2 switching technology with the Layer 3 forwarding function, which means that the Layer 3 switch is based on the Layer 2 switch. The routing function is added to the above, and the IP addresses of different VLANs can be configured, and the communicatio...
For example, a network host might have both the IP address of 68.98.134.209 and a MAC address of 00-0c-41-53-40-d3. The router makes decisions based on the IP address (68.98.134.209), whereas the switch makes decisions based on the MAC address (00-0c-41-53-40-d3). Both address...
For example, if you put your users on a separate VLAN from your network infrastructure like servers, then the routing of traffic between the users and the server can be done on either a Layer 3 switch or a firewall. No need for a dedicated router. ...
Switching Loop example The following image shows a switching Loop. Let us see how it works. PC1 generates a broadcast frame. The frame reaches S1 on switch Port one. The S1 switch reads the source and destination addresses of the frame. ...
This example shows how to configure an interface as a private-VLAN host port, associate it with a private-VLAN pair, and verify the configuration: Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/22 Switch(config-if)# no shutdown Switch(config-i...
This example shows how to put a static entry in the Layer 2 MAC address table: switch# config t switch(config)# mac address-table static 1.1.1 vlan 2 interface ethernet 1/2 switch(config)# Configuring a Static MAC Address on a Layer 3 Interface...
