Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)

A Virtual LAN is a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured (using management software) to communicate as if those devices were connected to the same physical network.

A VLAN (virtual LAN) is a network model that logically divides a network into several different VLANs. VLANs are not limited by the physical conditions of the network, as they can be configured virtually without regard to the equipment’s physical setup. Therefore, VLANs offer flexibility in network configuration and make it easier for network administrators to segment their networks according to the functions and security needs of those networks.
