VLANS
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network topology which allows to logically instead of physically
segment a LAN into several net segments. A VLAN combines a group of hosts with a common set of
requirements logically instead of physically relocating devices or connections. VLANs allow a network to
be logically segmented into different broadcast domains. All members in a VLAN are treated as in the
same broadcast domain and communicate as if they were on the same net segment, regardless of their
physical locations. Logically, a VLAN can be equated to a broadcast domain, because broadcast packets
are forwarded to only members of the VLAN on which the broadcast was initiated. Different VLANs
cannot intercommunicate directly. Inter-VLAN communication can only be achieved using a router or
other layer 3 devices that are able to perform Layer 3 forwarding.
Manually Configuring VLANs
