VLAN allows logical separation of broadcast domains by tagging Ethernet frames with VLAN IDs. It divides a physical network into virtual LANs to improve security, manageability and flexibility. VLAN configuration involves assigning ports to VLANs either statically by port number or dynamically by MAC address. Frame tagging standards like IEEE 802.1Q are used to identify VLANs on trunk links that carry traffic for multiple VLANs between switches.
The document discusses various topics related to VMWare including:
1. The VMWare kernel is proprietary and developed by VMWare, and requires a third party OS like RedHat Linux to boot, known as the service console.
2. Core services of vCenter include VM provisioning, task scheduling, and event logging.
3. Key files that make up a virtual machine include the .vmx configuration file, .vmdk disk file, .vmsn snapshot files, and log files.
The document contains 30 interview questions and answers related to VMware administration. Some key points covered include:
- The VMkernel is VMware's proprietary kernel that is not based on any UNIX operating system. It requires a third-party operating system like Red Hat Linux to boot.
- Common services that can be restarted on an ESX server include vmware-webaccess, sshd, and mgmt-vmware.
- The three port groups in an ESX server are virtual machine, service console, and VMkernel port groups for different types of communication.
- Features like VMotion require enabling the license and option for a specific vSwitch before it will show as used.
This document discusses inter-VLAN routing and different methods for implementing it. It introduces inter-VLAN routing as a process of forwarding traffic between VLANs using a router.

The document provides detailed explanations and configurations for router-on-a-stick inter-VLAN routing.
This document provides an overview of Cisco's NX-OS operating system and Nexus platforms.

VLANs logically divide the LAN into separate broadcast domains without using routers. Switches with VLAN capability allow ports to be configured as access, trunk, or general ports. Access ports belong to one VLAN and use untagged frames. Trunk ports can belong to multiple VLANs and use tagged frames, with a native VLAN using untagged frames. Ingress filtering ensures frames are tagged with an associated VLAN.
Inter-VLAN routing is the process of forwarding network traffic from one VLAN to another VLAN using a
router.
VLANs divide broadcast domains in a LAN environment. Whenever hosts in one VLAN need to
communicate with hosts in another VLAN, the traffic must be routed between them. This is known as
inter-VLAN routing. On Catalyst switches it is accomplished by creating Layer 3 interfaces (Switch virtual
interfaces (SVI)).
This document provides an overview and conceptual information about ExtremeXOS and its features. It covers topics such as switch management, software management, stack configuration, port and slot configuration, protocols, security, quality of service, routing, and more.

The document discusses Cisco's innovations in software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV). It provides an overview of Cisco's strategy, which involves various models of programmability including classic SDN with OpenFlow, network virtualization with overlays, and hybrid approaches. The document also discusses Cisco's NFV reference architecture and innovations like the Virtualized Mobility Supervisor (vMS) and virtualized branch solutions.
VSX allows multiple virtual firewall instances to run on a single physical Check Point gateway for cost optimization, fast provisioning, and better scalability. VSX gateways can integrate into an enterprise network through virtual routers, switches and interfaces. VSX provides robust, scalable and fast infrastructure through clustering of gateways and load sharing of virtual systems, while management remains simple through a three-tier architecture with SmartCenter or Provider-1.
