IT 3002 Computer Network Fundamentals - Quiz Review

Flashcards covering Virtual LAN benefits, Link Aggregation, STP port roles, IEEE 802.1p priority levels, and Gigabit Ethernet standards based on the IT 3002 quiz transcript.

Virtual LAN (VLAN)

A network configuration used to isolate legacy systems, reduce hardware costs, enhance security for segments, or create temporary networks for testing.

Link Aggregation

A technique that allows high bandwidth systems, such as servers, to increase their instantaneous bandwidth by connecting multiple network interfaces to a switch.

Root Port

The specific port on a switch that always points to the Root Switch.

IEEE 802.1p

A standard that adds a three-bit Priority Code Point (PCP) to implement $8$ priority levels, spanning from $\text{Level } 0$ to $\text{Level } 7$.

Priority Code Point (PCP)

A three-bit identifier used in the IEEE 802.1p standard to establish $8$ different levels of network traffic priority.

1000Base-T, 1000Base-SX, and 1000Base-LX

The most popular Gigabit Ethernet standards, notably excluding 1000Base-TSX.
