| Ethernet, LANs and VLANs |
Ethernet LANs are the standard way to implement data links between machines, which is Layer 2 of the OSI Model.
Taking this course, you'll gain a solid understanding of LANs:
• Ethernet and its bus topology
• CSMA-CD access control
• Broadcast domains
• MAC addresses
• MAC frames
• The IEEE 802 standards
• Evolution of Ethernet from 10BASE-T to Gig-E
• Hubs and switches
• LAN cables
• The TIA-568 cable categories
• What "bridging" means
• How a LAN switch works
• VLANs
and finishing with a preview of the next course: using routers to move frames between broadcast domains.
We’ll cut through the jargon to demystify Ethernet, MAC addresses, LANs and VLANs, explaining the jargon and buzzwords, the underlying ideas, and how it all works together… in plain English.
