Table 21-6. Example VLANs
VLAN VLAN Name VLAN Type
ID
100 Engineering Port-based
200 Marketing
300 Sales
400 Payroll
Purpose
All employees in the Engineering department
use this VLAN. Confining this department's
traffic to a single VLAN helps reduce the amount
of traffic in the broadcast domain, which
increases bandwidth.
Port-based All employees in the Marketing department use
this VLAN.
MAC-based The sales staff works remotely but occasionally
comes to the office. Since these employees do
not have assigned work areas, they typically plug
their laptops into a network port in an available
cubicle, office, or conference room.
Port-based The payroll department has sensitive traffic and
needs its own VLAN to help keep that traffic
private.
