Answer / s.m.feroz ahmed
Hi,
Vlan is defined as switching.Vlan is configured in Switch.
The procedure to configure Vlan is connect switch console
to CPU and configure Vlan .
# config
config# sh vlan
config# vlan int(fa01)
config# vlan (range of ip address)
BY configuring Vlan one can permit or deny access to
particular port on switch and can make bandwidth changes
through Vlan .By default bandwidth is 100 and we can reduce
it to 10 .

Which technologies listed below help prevent network loops in a switched (bridged) environment? A.) Store-and-Forward B.) IEEE 802.1d C.) Diikjstra Algorithm D.) Cut-Through E.) Spanning Tree Protocol F.) Routing
What is a characteristic of Store and Forward switches? A.) They work at wire speed. B.) They are the same as Cut-Through switching in 'prune' mode. C.) They forward based on transport layer info. D.) They forward the frame before it is completely read. E.) They increase latency.
What is a characteristic of Store and Forward switches? A.) They forward the frame before it is completely read. B.) They work at wire speed. C.) They are the same a Cut-Through switching. D.) They read the entire frame and check CRC before forwarding. E.) They decrease latency.

Which two statements about the store and forward switching method are true? (Choose two) A. Latency remains constant regardless of frame size. B. Latency through the switch varies with frame length. C. The switch receives the complete frame before forwarding it. D. The switch checks the destination address as soon as it receives the header and begins forwarding the fram immediately.
