Day 1: Learning about Router Broadcast Domains
Today, I spent time understanding how routers function at the network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model. The most important takeaway was their ability to segment broadcast domains.
- Switches = One broadcast domain (unless VLANs are used)
- Routers = Each interface is its own broadcast domain
This segmentation is what keeps our networks manageable and efficient. I'm excited to dive deeper into routing protocols tomorrow!
