VLAN技术原理(国外英语资料).doc

VLAN技术原理 The first chapter is the overview of virtual local area network (VLAN) Generation of 1.1 VLAN Traditional LANs use HUB, HUB has only one bus, and a bus is a conflict domain. Therefore, the traditional LAN is a flat network, and a LAN belongs to the same conflict domain. Any message sent by a host will be received by all other machines in the same conflict domain. Later, the use of bridge network (two layer switch) instead of hub (HUB), each port can be regarded as a separate bus collision domain is reduced to each port, the efficiency of network transmission of unicast messages is greatly improved, greatly improve the performance of the two layer network. However, all ports in the network are still in the same broadcast domain. When the bridge transmits the broadcast message, it still copies the broadcast message and sends it to every corner of the network. With the expansion of the scale of the network, more and more broadcast messages in the network, more and more network resources are used by broadcast packets, which seriously affect the performance of the network. This is the so-called broadcast storm problem. Due to the limitation of the network operation principle of the two layer bridge, the bridge cant do anything about the broadcast storm. In order to improve the efficiency of the network, it is usually necessary to segment the network into a large broadcast domain and divide it into several small broadcast domains. In the past, LAN was often segmented through routers. The router replaces the central node switch in the previous graph to reduce the sending range of broadcast messages. This solution solves the problem of broadcast storm, but the router is to isolate the network at the network layer, the network planning is complex, the network is not flexible, and greatly increased the difficulty of management and maintenance. As an alternative to the LAN fragmentation approach, virtual LANs are introduced into network solutions to address the proble
