VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) 
A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their 
physical location and can communicate as if a common broadcast 
domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce 
latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead. Other 
VLAN utility includes: 
Security, Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in 
eavesdropping on a broadcast network because data will be switched 
to only those confidential users within the VLAN. 
Cost Reduction, VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast 
domains, thus eliminating the need of expensive routers. 
Port-based (or port-group) VLAN is the common method of 
implementing a VLAN, and is the one supplied in the Switch.
