Benefit of VANs
Grouping users into logical networks for performance enhancement.
Provides effective broadcasts containment between Segmented Ports,
which prevents flooding of a network.
Offers security by completely isolating from each other the different
Broadcast Domains connected on separate Segmented Ports.
Preserving current investment in equipment and cabling.
Providing an easy, flexible, economic way to modify logical groups
when needed.
Network administrators can easily "fine tune" the network.
Keeping network structure from the physical topology of the cabling.
Making large networks more manageable.
You can group users according to some shared characteristic, such as a common business
function or a common protocol. A single switch may have several independent VLANs
within it. Below is a example that R&D, Manufacturing and Administration group can be
partitioned into two different VLAN group, even members in different group can’t talk
directly, but they still share the same server, such as MRP server, printer server in
Administration group…etc.
