    The document discusses virtual local area networks (VLANs). It provides definitions of VLANs, explaining that they allow logical grouping of devices across physical LAN segments. VLANs create separate broadcast domains and use tagging to distinguish traffic for different VLANs. Advantages of VLANs include easier administration, reduced broadcast traffic, and enforced security policies. The document also provides examples of different types of VLANs commonly used in campus network environments, such as data, voice, management, and reserved VLANs.

    VIRTUAL LAN
    What is purpose of VLAN?
    Network devices such as switches, hubs, bridges, workstations and servers connected to each
    other in the same network at a specific location are generally known as LANs. A LAN is also
    considered a broadcast domain. A VLAN allows several networks to work virtually as one
    LAN

    Why do we use VLANs?


    Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, they are extremely
    flexible. ... Traffic cannot pass directly to another VLAN (between broadcast domains) within
    the switch or between two switches. To interconnect two different VLANs, you must use
    routers or Layer 3 switches.

    How does virtual LAN work?


    Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) separate an existing physical network into multiple
    logical networks. Thus, each VLAN creates its own broadcast domain. Communication
    between two VLANs can only occur through a router that is connected to both. VLANs work
    as though they are created using independent switches.

    What is VLAN example?


    A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a broadcast domain created by switches. VLANs are a convenient
    way to connect ports from different switches and different buildings onto the same network and
    broadcast domain, preventing the need for a complex system of subnets.

    What are the advantages of VLAN?


    Advantages of VLANs. VLANs provide a number of advantages, such as ease of
    administration, confinement of broadcast domains, reduced broadcast traffic, and enforcement
    of security policies. VLANs provide the following advantages: VLANs enable logical grouping
    of end-stations that are physically dispersed on a network.

    Different types of VLANs exist on campus enviroments and here they are
    Default VLAN: This is basically where ALL ports belongs to by default, this is tecnically
    VLAN 1 and it can't be deleted from the switch. On some (old )Catalyst switches you can't
    even disallow VLAN 1 from trunk ports.
    Data VLAN: This is the "normal" VLAN where the traffic is carried and where the client data
    goes through the LAN.
    Native VLAN: The native VLAN is an 802.1Q only concept. Traffic belonging to the native
    VLAN is not tagged. Note that by default VLAN 1 (which is the default VLAN) is the native
    VLAN on ALL Catalyst switches. You can designate any VLAN as your native on your
    switch and note that it need to match on both ends of the trunk connection.

    Voice VLAN: The voice VLAN is where the QoS policies are applied in order to prioritize this
    traffic to send it through the LAN. The voice traffic it's always distinguished from the data
    traffic on the LAN.

    Management VLAN: This is used on a LAN for management purporses. Example of this
    would be to use it on a Out-of-Band (OOB) implementations. This VLAN normally carries
    sensitive traffic from a control perspective; some of the protocols that are carried on this
    VLAN are: FTP, TFTP, Telnet, SSH, SCP, and others.

    Special VLANs: These VLANs are basically used for special cases on your LAN. An example
    of a special case VLAN would be VLAN 0, which is used in conjunction with 802.1p. I would
    say that VLAN 1 fits in this "special" category too.

    Reserved VLANs: There are some VLANs that are reserved internally on your switch in order
    to use them on other enviroments like FDDI, Token Ring. The specific VLANs used for these
    two types of networks are from 1002 - 1005.
    Private VLANs it's a technology that has some new concpets/category of VLANs, but
    these are not a CCNA R&S related topic.
