What is a VLAN?
A VLAN is a logical Layer 2 network that groups switch ports into a separate broadcast domain.

What is a VLAN?
A VLAN is a logical Layer 2 network that groups switch ports into a separate broadcast domain.
What characterizes an access port?
An access port normally connects an end device and belongs to one VLAN. Frames on that link are sent untagged.
How do you create VLAN 20 and optionally name it SALES?
From global configuration mode, enter `vlan 20`, then use `name SALES` in VLAN configuration mode if a descriptive name is desired.
How do you assign an end-device port to VLAN 20?
Configure the interface with `switchport mode access`, then assign the intended VLAN with `switchport access vlan 20`.
How many access VLANs can one access port belong to at once?
An access port belongs to one access VLAN at a time.
What Layer 2 communication is possible within one VLAN?
Devices connected to access ports in the same VLAN can communicate at Layer 2 through the switch, subject to other controls.
What is required for communication between different VLANs?
Different VLANs are separate broadcast domains. Communication between them requires Layer 3 routing.
What endpoint settings are not supplied by VLAN assignment?
VLAN assignment alone does not configure a device's IP address, subnet, or default gateway.
What does `show vlan brief` help verify?
`show vlan brief` lists VLANs and, on typical access-port displays, their member ports.
What port details does `show interfaces ... switchport` report?
`show interfaces ... switchport` reports the port's administrative mode and access VLAN.
What should you check if a configured VLAN is unavailable?
Check that the VLAN appears and is active. VLAN propagation can depend on the platform and VTP setup; create it explicitly where required.
How can you catch a wrong-port or wrong-VLAN assignment?
Confirm the interface identifier and the access VLAN value, then verify the VLAN in `show vlan brief`.
