VLANs & Trunking

Segment a switched network into VLANs, carry them over trunks, and route between them.

Beginner

Access vs. trunk ports

Match the right port mode to end devices versus switch-to-switch links.

Intermediate

Native VLAN mismatch

Spot the risk when two trunk ends disagree on the native VLAN.

Advanced

Inter-VLAN routing design

Choose between router-on-a-stick and a Layer 3 switch as VLANs scale up.
