Overview
• Created by software running on Layer 2 switches
• VLANs can be static or dynamic – responsibility of the
network administrator
• Segment LANs into logical groupings e.g. by function,
project team, application
• Users must be in the same VLAN as their workgroup
server
• VLAN is a broadcast domain
• Traffic can be switched between VLANS with a router

on VLAN ID

VLAN Membership
• Port based
• MAC addressed based
• Protocol based

• Any VLAN is a layer 3 broadcast domain

• VLAN traffic between switches (trunks) is tagged


(802.1q) or encapsulated (ISL) to identify VLAN
membership
