Vlan trunking protocol eliminates the need to configure a new VLAN on every switch. VTP sores VLAN configuration in vlan.dat VTP V1-2 only learns about normal range vlans (1-5000), V3 support extended VLANs VTP advertisemenst only in domain (router or l3 switch define the boundary of each domain)
-
Server
- Advertises the VTP domain VLAN information to other VTP-enabled switches in the same domain
- Stores vlan.dat in NVRAM
- CRUD on VLANs in domain
- Default mode
-
Client
- No CRUD on VLANs
- Stores vlan.dat in RAM
- Must be confiured as VTP client
-
Transparant
- Does not participate in VTP expect forward VTP to other switches (client en server)
-
Summary
- Informs other switches of domain, sends configuration revision number
- Every 5 min (default)
-
Advertisement request
- Respons to a Summary advertisment if the configuration revision number is higher than the current one.

Dynamic Truncking Protocol provides the ability for ports to automatically negotiate trunking between switches. Turn off DTP on interfaces on a Cisco switch that is connected to devices that do not support DTP to avoid misconfigurations

Spannings Tree Protocol provides redundancy as OSI Layer 1 end 2 When multiple paths exist between two devices on a network, and there is no spanning tree implementation on the switches, a Layer 2 loop occurs.
STP ensures that there is only one logical path between all destinations on the network by intentionally blocking redundant paths that could cause a loop.
Port | Defenition |
---|---|
Root ports | Port closest to the root bridge |
Designated ports | non-root ports permitted to forward trafic |
Alternate and backup port | Blocking state to prevent loops |
Disabled ports | A disabled port is a switch port that is shut down |
Link Speed | Cost |
---|---|
10 Gb/s | 2 |
1 Gb/s | 4 |
100 Mb/s | 19 |
10 Mb/s | 100 |

Link aggregation combines a number of physical links between the switches to increase the overall bandwidth between two devices.
- EtherChannel interface types cannot be mixed. for example, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet cannot be mixed in a port channel.
- Individual EtherChannel group member port configuration must be consistent on both devices. For example, if the physical ports of one side are configured as trunks, the physical ports of the other side must also be configured as trunks within the same native VLAN.

Port Aggregation Protocol: PAgP
- PAgP sends packets every 30 seconds to check for configuration consistency and manages link additions and failures.
- PAgP supports three modes.
- Desirable – Port actively initiates negotiations with other interfaces by sending PAgP packets.
- Auto – Port passively negotiates state, but does not initiate PAgP negotiation.
- On – Creates a channel member without negotiation
-
Link Aggregation Control Protocol:
- PAgP supports three modes.
- Active – Port actively initiates negotiations with other interfaces by sending LACP packets.
- Passive – Port passively negotiates state, but does not initiate LACP negotiation.
- On – Creates a channel member without negotiation.
- PAgP supports three modes.

Why: In a switched network, each client receives only one default gateway and there is no way to use a secondary gateway, even if a second path exists to carry packets off the local segment.

Routing Protocols are used to facilitate the exchange of routing information between routers.
- Discovery of remote networks
- Maintaining up-to-date routing information
- Choosing the best path to destination networks
- The bility to find a new best path if the current path is no longer available
- Purpose
- Interior Gateway (IGP)
- Exterior Gateway (EGP)
- Operation
- Distance vector
- link-state
- path-vector
- Behavior
- Classful (legacy)
- classless
