In t'is packet tracer activit+, I oserve$ roa$cast tra%%ic in a VLAN Implementation.
I ping %rom PC1 to PC-. T'e ping %rom PC1 %ails eca(se PC1 never receives an A)P
)epl+. T'en I ping %rom PC1 t PC.. T'e ping %rom PC1 s(ccee$s eca(se PC1
receives an A)P repl+. A%ter t'at, I oserve$ #roa$casts Tra%%ic &it'o(t VLANs. I
$elete$ t'e start(p con%ig(ration on all 3 s&itc'es an$ t'e VLAN %ile store$ in t'e

A VLAN tr(nk, or tr(nk, is a point-to-point link et&een t&o net&ork $evices t'at carries
more t'an one VLAN. In normal operation, &'en a s&itc' receives a roa$cast %rame on
one o% its ports, it %or&ar$s t'e %rame o(t all ot'er ports e3cept t'e port &'ere t'e
roa$cast &as receive$. 4'en t'e s&itc' receives a %rame on a port con%ig(re$ in
access mo$e an$ assigne$ a VLAN, t'e s&itc' inserts a VLAN tag in t'e %rame 'ea$er,
recalc(lates t'e 1C/, an$ sen$s t'e tagge$ %rame o(t o% a tr(nk port.
