To block unauthorized access to switch ports, switches support a feature called port security. This feature allows you to configure which devices are allowed or blocked on each port. This number is the total of available MAC addresses, including those used for other Layer 2 functions and any other secure MAC addresses. Learn how to configure port security on Cisco switches to prevent unauthorized network access and pass your CCNA 200-301 exam.

The working principle of the wireless access point is that the network signal is transmitted through a twisted-pair cable, and after the compilation of AP products, the electrical signal is converted into a radio signal and sent out to form the wireless network coverage. q1) Can I just think of AP as "wireless L2 switch" which also bridge the radio signal network to the wired network q2) can AP work as a standalone if i just want wireless connectivity in the devices connected to it, without an uplink to any router. Access points and wireless LAN cards connect devices in a network using radio signals. Before a device can have wi-fi access, it must announce its capabilities and be granted authorization to join.

The most common link aggregation deployment in business networks is on uplinks between access-layer and distribution-layer switches. A floor or departmental access switch typically has many user devices connected to it. How should the access switch and aggregation/core switch be configured to allow two connection from access switch to core switch?This article provides a comprehensive explanation of link aggregation — covering LACP, static vs dynamic link aggregation, and MLAG (Link Aggregation Plus) — along with real configuration examples from Cisco and Huawei switches. In this article, I'm going to describe how to set up Link Aggregation between two managed switches to provide connectivity, redundancy, and expanded bandwidth. Link aggregation is a way of bundling a bunch of individual (Ethernet) links together so they act as a single logical link.

Ethernet frame in LANs or multi-link PPP in WANs, Ethernet MAC address) aggregation typically occurs across switch ports, which can be either physical ports or virtual ones managed by an operating system. These aggregation switches typically operate at Layer 2 or Layer 3 of the OSI model, depending on the network topology and configuration requirements. They support link aggregation protocols such as Link Aggregation Control Protocol(LACP) and Static Link Aggregation, which allow multiple physical. A Layer 2 access topology provides the following unique capabilities required in the data center: VLAN extension—The Layer 2 access topology provides the flexibility to extend VLANs between switches that are connected. The same layer 2 (L2) switch may be used in the access layer or the convergence layer in different network structures; for the same reason, the same layer 3 (L3) switch, in different applications, It may be used as an aggregation layer switch or as a core layer switch.
