IEEE 802.1

IEEE 802.1 is a set of standards that helps different computer networks, especially Ethernet and Wi-Fi, work together smoothly. It manages how devices connect, communicate, and share data within a network by establishing rules for things like security, network management, and data traffic control. This ensures that various devices—from computers to switches—interact efficiently, securely, and reliably. Essentially, IEEE 802.1 provides the frameworks and protocols that enable diverse network components to collaborate seamlessly in a structured and consistent way.
