VLAN
A virtual LAN, commonly known as a vLAN or as a VLAN, is a logically-independent network. Several VLANs can co-exist on a single physical switch.
A VLAN consists of a network of computers that behave as if connected to the same wire - even though they may actually physically connect to different segments of a LAN. Network administrators configure VLANs through software rather than hardware, which makes them extremely flexible. One of the biggest advantages of VLANs emerges when physically moving a computer to another location: it can stay on the same VLAN without the need for any hardware reconfiguration./p>
