  • Configuring VL Routing on Core Switches

    Configuring VL Routing on Core Switches

    Learn how to assign IP addresses to VLANs on a Cisco switch to enable inter-VLAN communication and improve network segmentation. Inter-VLAN routing is a network configuration technique that allows communication between devices on different VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) within the same network What's in this article? VLANs are commonly used to segment a network, improving performance and security by isolating traffic. If your access/distribution switches connect the user vlans to the core using trunks, then you will need to configure the vlans on both the access/distribution and on the core. This step-by-step guide clarifies these concepts, their practical applications, and provides CLI-based configuration examples to help you build a scalable Cisco network. If this topology looks familiar, it is because you saw it in the article which described how VLANs operated on a conceptual level. They allow you to create groups of devices that share broadcasts and traffic at Layer 2.

  • How to configure interconnection between core switches

    How to configure interconnection between core switches

    To establish a VSX relationship between the core switches, create a link aggregation (LAG) interface for assignment as the VSX data plane's inter-switch link (ISL). The LAG can be defined at the Central UI group level when using the same ports for the VSX ISL on both core. Therefore, you are advised to configure corresponding VPN instances on the core switch to isolate traffic and send the traffic to the corresponding ISPs. It is a 12-bit identity used to create multiple broadcast domains in a switch. VLAN ranges from 0 to 4095 (VLAN 0 and VLAN 4095 are reserved and not used). This Switch Port mode is configured by the admin. The slot is used to install various function modules and interface modules.

  • The role of dedicated fiber optic switches

    The role of dedicated fiber optic switches

    The primary function of a fiber switch is to receive incoming data packets on one port and forward them to the correct output port based on MAC addresses. This ensures efficient data routing within a network. Fiber switches support multi-gigabit and even terabit speeds, enabling. Fiber optic switches are devices used to control the flow of light in fiber optic networks. Unlike traditional switches that use copper Ethernet cables, fiber switches utilize fiber optics to enable faster data transfer speeds, longer transmission distances, and. An all-optical Ethernet switch is a network switch whose service ports are entirely optical, meaning every interface uses fiber rather than copper. An Active Optical Network (AON) is a point-to-point network architecture where individual dedicated fibers connect directly from a central hub (like an ISP's central office) to each end-user.
