Chapter 16 Connecting LANs,Backbone Networks, and Virtual LANs

16.1 Connecting Devices Repeaters Hubs Bridges Two-Layer Switches

Figure 16.1Connecting devices

Figure 16.2Repeater

Note: A repeater connects segments of a LAN.

Note: A repeater forwards every frame; it has no filtering capability.

Note: A repeater is a regenerator, not an amplifier.

Figure 16.3Function of a repeater

Figure 16.4Hubs

Note: A bridge has a table used in filtering decisions.

Figure 16.5Bridge

Note: A bridge does not change the physical (MAC) addresses in a frame.

16.2 Backbone Networks Bus Backbone Star Backbone Connecting Remote LANs

Note: In a bus backbone, the topology of the backbone is a bus.

Figure 16.11Bus backbone

Note: In a star backbone, the topology of the backbone is a star; the backbone is just one switch.

Figure 16.13Connecting remote LANs

Note: A point-to-point link acts as a LAN in a remote backbone connected by remote bridges.

16.3 Virtual LANs Membership Configuration IEEE Standard Advantages

Figure 16.16Two switches in a backbone using VLAN software

Note: VLANs create broadcast domains.
