Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)
• Groups individual devices from different physical
structures into one joint logical structure.
• Changes to the network can be made with relatively
little effort.
• Is not subject to any geographical restriction
A difference is made between static and dynamic VLANs:
a) Static VLAN
• Assignment of a physical port to the VLAN
• A component connected to the port automatically forms part of that port's
VLAN.
b) Dynamic VLAN
• The port is assigned a VLAN ID based on the component's MAC address.
• Different from the static VLAN, a component's assignment remains the same
when it is connected to a different port of the device.
