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 traffic to flow more efficiently within subgroups. VLANs use
software to reduce the amount of time it takes for network changes,
additions, and moves to be implemented. VLANs restrict traffic within
the VLAN.

through a port that is an untagged member of VLAN1.

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 defined by physical attributes.
