Lesson 3.3 Switch Port Configuration

Switch ports have a number of additional configuration parameters that solve common network infrastructure problems, such as making more bandwidth available, supplying power to devices, and building a loop free mesh or partial mesh topology.

 

As you study this lesson, answer the following questions: 

  • What are the benefits of link aggregation? 
  • Why would you consider configuring switches in your network to handle jumbo frames? 
  • What are the options and benefits of integrating PoE devices in your network? 
  • What protocol can be used to prevent looping and broadcast storms in your network, and how does it work?
