Continuing the series of blogs posts on the most representative technologies to consider when selecting switches, this time we look at VLAN technology. VLANs arose from the need to isolate different stations operating on the same physical local network.  In addition, VLANs isolate different broadcast domains and help stations to avoid support excessive broadcast traffic, saving bandwidth and...

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...

Continuing our series of blog posts on the most representative technologies to consider when selecting switches, we will now address  port & link aggregation technologies.   Historical background on port & link aggregation In the evolution of Ethernet standards, each new generation typically saw a tenfold increase in capacity compared to the previous one: 10 megabits/s, 100Mbits/s,...
