- 1. Instructor & Todd Lammle Sybex CCNA 640-802 Chapter 8: Layer-2 Switching
- 2. Chapter 8 Objectives The CCNA Topics Covered in this chapter include: What is layer-2 switching Switching services Bridges vs. LAN switching Three switch functions MAC table Switching loops Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP)
- 3. Layer 2 Switching Purposes for using switching Breaks up collision domains Cost-effective, resilient internetwork Purpose for Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) Stops loops in layer 2 switched networks
- 4. Before Layer 2 Switching
- 7. One link to the server!
- 8. Switching Services Layer 2 switching provides: Hardware-based bridging (ASIC) Wire speed Low latency Low cost
- 9. Limitations of Layer 2 Switching Must break up the collision domains correctly. Make sure that users spend 80 percent of their time on the local segment. Switches do not break up broadcast domains by default.
- 10. Bridging vs. LAN switching
- 11. Three Switch Functions at Layer-2
- 12. Empty MAC table
- 13. How Switches Learn Hosts’ Locations
- 14. Switching Loops
- 16. Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) Solves Switching loops at layer 2 STP Root Bridge BPDU Bridge ID Nonroot Bridge Root port Designated port Port cost Nondesignated port Forwarding port Block port
- 17. Spanning-Tree Operations Selecting the root bridge Selecting the designated port
- 18. Switching Loops
- 19. Spanning-Tree Port States Blocking Listening Forwarding Disabled
