LAN is logically organized into three different VLANs, each representing a different
IP subnet.
■ VLAN 1 is an IP subnet consisting of the Main Server, Client 3, and Client 5. This
represents an engineering group.
■ VLAN 2 includes the Main Server, Clients 1 and 2 by means of a shared media
segment, and Client 5. This is a software development group.
