VLAN Configuration
In conventional networks with routers, broadcast traffic is split up into
separate domains. Switches do not inherently support broadcast domains.
This can lead to broadcast storms in large networks that handle traffic
such as IPX or NetBEUI. By using IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs, you
can organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains,
thus confining broadcast traffic to the originating group. This also
provides a more secure and cleaner network environment.
