Key Point For eNSP Test A

The document provides key points about VLANs, STP, link aggregation, inter-VLAN communication, DHCP, and TELNET. It discusses VLANs logically dividing LANs, STP preventing loops, link aggregation optimizing throughput, inter-VLAN communication using L3 switches or router-on-a-stick, DHCP automating network configuration, and TELNET enabling remote administration.

1. VLAN (for details, see HCNA lab guide module 1)
To reduce broadcast traffic and improve LAN security, virtual local area network (VLAN)
technology is used to logically divide a physical LAN into multiple broadcast domains. Hosts in a
VLAN can directly communicate with each other, whereas hosts in different VLANs cannot
communicate directly. VLAN technology improves network security because broadcast packets
are restricted within a VLAN.
Understand interface mode: access, trunk and hybrid mode
a) access ports associate with access links, usually are used to connect with PC. Only frames
with the VLAN tag equal to the Port VLAN ID (PVID) of the interface can be transmitted.
b) trunk ports associate with trunk links, usually are used to connect switches. Trunk links do
not belong to any specific VLAN; they can carry the data of all VLANs or specified VLANs.
c) hybrid port can associate with either access or trunk links. Hybrid ports can allow many
VLANs to be transmitted and can selectively perform the removal of VLAN tags from frames
that differ from the PVID of the port interface. Hybrid is the default port type for Huawei
devices supporting VLAN operation.

2. STP (for details, see HCNA lab guide entry module 3)


The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to prevent logical loops at the data link layer. Spanning
tree also allows a network design to include backup links to provide fault tolerance if an active
link fails. It blocks port so that to prevent transient loops. When faults occur, the blocked port
would come back to alive again.

3．Link Aggregation (for details, see HCNA lab guide module 1)


As a means of optimizing the throughput of data, link aggregation enables the binding of
multiple physical interfaces into a single logical pipe. This effectively introduces solutions for
providing higher utilization of available links, as well as extended resilience in the event that
failure of individual links were to occur.

4. Inter-VLAN communication (for details, see HCNA lab guide


module 1)
Inter-VLAN communication can be implement by L2 switches or L3 swithces.
In a router-on-a-stick configuration, inter-VLAN data is forwarded at Layer 3 through a router.
Router has only one physical interface connected to switch. Configure the interfaces as trunk
interfaces to allow multiple VLAN packets. Configure different logical sub-interfaces on Router
as the gateways of different VLANs. Create sub-interfaces on Router and configure IP addresses
for sub-interfaces. Each sub-interface belongs to one VLAN, respectively.
When configure sub-interfaces:
a) Each VLAN should be inbound with a sub-interface and network segment.

b) Enable 802.1q encapsulation on the sub-interfaces, 802.1q protocol would add or split vlan
tag to implement inter-vlan communication.
c) Use the command arp broadcast enable to enable arp broadcast on the sub-interfaces. If
the command is not run, the sub-interface does not send ARP broadcast packets or forward
IP packets.

5. DHCP (for details, see HCNA entry lab guide module 5)


An enterprise network may often consist of a substantial number of host devices, each requiring
network parameters in the form of IP addressing and additional network configuration
information. Manual allocation is often a tedious and inaccurate business which can lead to
many end stations facing address duplication or failure to reach services necessary for smooth
network operation. DHCP is an application layer protocol that is designed to automate the
process of providing such configuration information to clients within a TCP/IP network. DHCP
therefore aids in ensuring correct addressing is allocated, and reduces the burden on
administration for all enterprise networks.

6. TELNET (for details, see HCNA entry lab guide module 5)


As the enterprise network expands, supported devices may exist over a larger geographical
distance and that require remote administration. Additionally the administration of the network
is often managed from a central management location from which all devices are monitored and
administered. In order to facilitate this administration, the telnet protocol, one of the earliest
protocols to be developed, is applied to manage devices.
