7.3 Conguring VLANs
VLANs are logical subgroups with a Local Area Network (LAN) which combine user stations and network devices into a
single unit, regardless of the physical LAN segment to which they are attached. VLANs allow network trafc to ow more
efciently within subgroups. VLANs use software to reduce the amount of time it takes for network changes, additions, and
moves to be implemented.
VLANs have no minimum number of ports, and can be created per unit, per device, or through any other logical connection
combination, since they are software-based and not dened by physical attributes.
VLANs function at Layer 2. Since VLANs isolate traffic within the VLAN, a Layer 3 router working at a protocol level is
required to allow trafc ow between VLANs. Layer 3 routers identify segments and coordinate with VLANs. VLANs are
Broadcast and Multicast domains. Broadcast and Multicast traffic is transmitted only in the VLAN in which the traffic is
generated.
VLAN tagging provides a method of transferring VLAN information between VLAN groups. VLAN tagging attaches a 4-byte
tag to packet headers. The VLAN tag indicates to which VLAN the packets belong. VLAN tags are attached to the VLAN by
either the end station or the network device. VLAN tags also contain VLAN network priority information.
Combining VLANs and GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) allows network managers to dene network nodes
into Broadcast domains.
