VLANs
This chapter describes network design and topology considerations for using Virtual Local Area
Networks (VLANs). VLANs commonly are used to split up groups of network users into man-
ageable broadcast domains, to create logical segmentation of workgroups, and to enforce security
policies among logical segments. The following topics are discussed in this chapter:
“VLANs and Port VLAN ID Numbers” on page 49
“VLAN Topologies and Design Considerations” on page 55
This section discusses how you can connect users and segments to a host that supports
many logical segments or subnets by using the flexibility of the multiple VLAN system.
