This section describes the concepts needed to configure and manage VLANs 
on IntraCore switches.

Benefits of VLAN Management
Unnecessary flooded traffic wastes bandwidth on a LAN, potentially 
clogging the network. Flooded traffic is traffic that is sent to all ports on the 
switch because the destination is a broadcast or multicast address, or because 
the location of the destination is unknown.

Traditional layer 2 bridges and switches attempt to limit unnecessary flooded 
traffic by learning the addresses of stations on the switch. But as traffic 
expands rapidly on today’s networks, bandwidth wastage from layer 2 
flooding can easily become a network bottleneck.

The traditional solution to the problem of broadcast flooding is to use a layer 
3 device like a router. The trade-offs that accompany the use of routers 
include higher initial cost, more latency with decreased network 
performance, and higher maintenance and configuration expenses.
