Stop using flat networks for your office! 🛑🏢

A proper setup requires segmentation. Use a Layer 3 Core Switch + VLANs to isolate Guest Wi-Fi, Staff PCs, Servers, and IoT/CCTV devices. It boosts network performance and stops lateral security threats. 🛡️💻

MAC Address vs. IP Address: What’s the difference? 🌐🔍

🔹 MAC Address (Layer 2): Physical fingerprint assigned by the manufacturer. Switches use it to forward data locally.

🔹 IP Address (Layer 3): Logical mailing address assigned by your network. Routers use it to send data across networks.

One stays with the hardware permanently, the other changes depending on where you connect! 💡
