Switching Concepts (N10-009)

Welcome to the Switching Concepts Practice Lab. In this module, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.

Switching is a fundamental networking concept that involves the efficient forwarding of data within a local area network (LAN). In this context, Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) provide a mechanism to logically segment a network into multiple networks, enhancing network flexibility and security. Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a key parameter specifying the maximum size of data packets that can be transmitted over a network. Proper MTU configuration ensures efficient data transmission and avoids fragmentation issues. Knowing these concepts is essential for designing and managing modern network infrastructures, enabling efficient traffic control, segmentation, and optimal data transmission.
