Question

Accepted Answer

Switching technologies used by network engineers include VLANs, STP, VTP, EtherChannel, and Port Security.

VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) allow for logical segmentation of a physical network
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) prevents loops in redundant network topologies
VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) allows for automatic VLAN configuration across multiple switches
EtherChannel allows for the bundling of multiple physical links into a single logical link for increased bandwidth and redundancy
Port Security restricts access to a switch port based on the MAC address of the connected device
