3.6.1_Packet_Tracer_-_Implement_VLANs_and_Trunking

Objective: Configure VLANs and trunking to segment network traffic and allow inter-switch communication.

Description:

Created multiple VLANs to separate departments (e.g., Sales, HR, IT) for better network organization and security.

Assigned switch ports to the appropriate VLANs.

Configured 802.1Q trunking between switches to allow traffic from multiple VLANs to travel over a single link.

Verified connectivity within VLANs and ensured isolation between different VLANs.

Outcome:

Successfully segmented the network using VLANs.

Enabled communication across switches via trunking.

Improved traffic management, security, and scalability of the LAN design.
