• Addressing
• Segmenting Networks with VLANs
Segmenting the network into broadcast groups improves network security. Use router access lists
based on station addresses, application types, and protocol types.
• Routers and their Role in Switched Networks
In switched networks, routers perform broadcast management, route processing and distribution,
and provide communications between VLANs. Routers provide VLAN access to shared resources
and connect to other parts of the network that are either logically segmented with the more
traditional subnet approach or that require access to remote sites across wide-area links.
