Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Provide examples to support the characteristics you identified in your discussion. Your initial response should be a minimum of 300 words in length.

 
Guided response: Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. Has the post appropriately identified the characteristics of VLANs?
