VLAN overview
A VLAN is made up of a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured so the devices
operate as if they form an independent LAN. These devices can, in fact, be located on several different
LAN segments. VLANs can be used to group together departments and other logical groups, thereby
reducing network traffic flow and increasing security within the VLAN.
The following figure illustrates how a simple VLAN can connect several endpoints in different locations
and attached to different hubs. In this example, the Management VLAN consists of stations on numerous
floors of the building which are connected to both Device A and Device B.
