Modern data centers demand high scalability, advanced network segmentation, and seamless workload mobility—especially in environments with virtual machines and containers. VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) meets these needs by extending Layer 2 networks over a Layer 3 infrastructure, enabling connectivity between physical and virtual servers without the limitations of traditional VLANs. Challenges...

Enhancing Enterprise Network Security: Implementing 802.1X and NAC on Switches
In today’s enterprise landscape, network security has become a top priority. As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, it is crucial to ensure that only authorized devices and users can access the network. This is where 802.1X authentication, combined with Network Access Control (NAC) technologies, becomes indispensable. This article delves into how deploying 802.1X on switches...
The Spanning Tree algorithm in Switching: a link between reliable and efficient networks
In the boundless realm of telecommunications, making sure networks run efficiently and undisturbed is crucial. Today, we are going to focus on the fascinating Spanning Tree algorithm (STP) and its relationship with switching. We will find out how this unsung hero keeps our networks free from loops and running smoothly. The evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol STP was developed by Radia...
