Chapter 1, CCNA2: Introduction to Switched Networks Objectives

Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: Describe convergence of data, voice, and video in the context of switched networks. Describe a switched network in a small-to-medium-sized business. Explain the process of frame forwarding in a switched network. Compare a collision domain to a broadcast domain. Modern networks continue to evolve to keep pace with the changing way organizations carry out their daily business. Users now expect instant access to company resources from anywhere at any time. There is also an increasing need for collaboration technologies that allow real-time resource sharing between multiple remote individuals as though they were at the same physical location. LAN switches provide the connection point for end users into the enterprise network and are also primarily responsible for the control of information within the LAN environment. All advanced services depend on the availability of a robust routing and switching infrastructure on which they can build. This chapter begins an examination of the flow of traffic in a modern network. It examines some of the current network design models and the way LAN switches build forwarding tables and use the MAC address information to efficiently switch data between hosts.
