information with VLANs on other switches;
each switch is its own domain
(STDALONE).
For switches in a stack: there is an exchange
of information using VLANs between the
switches in the stack; these switches are in
their own domain (STDALONE).
Distributed A domain is a collection of switches and
can contain up to 128 VLANs. If you select
distributed, each switch will be able to com-
municate with all the others in this domain.
