Part II: Ethernet LANs and Switches
Part II discusses how to build a small- to medium-sized Ethernet LAN today. Chapter 6 completes the discussion of Ethernet LAN concepts, building on the introduction to LANs found in Chapter 2. Chapters 7 and 8 unravel how Cisco switches work, first looking at administrative settings, and then discussing settings that impact how the switch forwards Ethernet frames. Chapter 9 moves on to discuss virtual LANs (VLAN), a widely used tool to use one set of switches to create many different LANs. Finally, Chapter 10 discusses how to troubleshoot Ethernet LANs.
