Sammi, You can always create VLANs without a router, you just can't move traffic between them. If you have a situation where you have two networks that exist in the same location but need to be kept strictly seperate (such as a production and a test network) then it isn't necessarily a bad thing

Kuldip, For most of these, a quick look at the purpose of the protocol will answer your question. However, don't assume that error control is required, sometimes there isn't any error control at all. However, even when a protocol has error control functionality, don't assume that it will do

When you connect to a brand new router for the first time you need to use a console connection because there isn't an IP address yet to allow you to connect via telnet. Its the same thing with switches and hubs. If you don't have an IP address on the box, you're reduced to using console

Kiran, It depends on the protocol that you run over the serial interface. By default, synchronous serial interfaces operate in full-duplex mode . However, the usage of certain protocols changes that default to half-duplex. More info here:

No, you don't need a router. A node is determined to be a member of a VLAN by their MAC address. Layer 2 rather than Layer 3 remember? The router is only needed to deal with packets destined for anything outside the VLAN. The IP addresses don't matter. Karen E Young *** REPLY
