VLANs

A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is an L2 segment of the network which defines a broad-
cast domain and is identified by a tag added to all Ethernet frames running within the domain.
This tag is called a VLAN ID (VID) and can take a value of 1-4094.
If the physical port is operationally up, this port will be an active member of the aggre-
gation. Consequently, it will be able to convey traffic.
