Write a paper. It should be double-spaced and be between 9 – 12 pages.

The paper will need to be double spaced and comply with either the APA or MLA styles required by the college.

Use a minimum of 7 sources (not including the book). And, your last slide (or page if you choose the paper) should contain the list of sources.

VLAN’s

Describe what a VLAN is and why it is more prevalent today in networks.

What are the advantages of a VLAN? Are there any disadvantages?

What are the security issues, if any with a VLAN?

Describe what trunking is. Why would you use it?

Create a drawing showing 2 or 3 VLAN’s and the concept of trunking. Ensure your drawing shows hosts connected to the VLAN as well as a router at the beginning of the network. Optionally, find a diagram on the Internet with this information (and provide the source).

For each of the VLAN’s, label the purpose of the VLAN (i.e., Accounting Department, Payroll, etc.)

Provide examples (from the Internet) of equipment (to include switches) that can be used with VLAN’s. Specify the model of switch that you would use.

Describe how to create a Wireless VLAN

Describe how a VLAN compares (or does not compare) to a subnet. What are the differences? What are the similarities?
