VLAN or Virtual LAN
• A single physical link can simultaneously serve several IP subnets
when subnet-based VLANs are configured on that link.
• Workgroups requiring increased security can be logically connected
within the same broadcast domain. Broadcast traffic will be isolated
within the secure group.
• End-stations using VLANs can offer rudimentary class of service
(CoS) locally by prioritizing traffic for certain activities.
Refer to the manual Using HP VLANs for further information on
installation and administration of this free software.
