VLAN Domains

VLAN domains consist of groups of interconnected VLAN switches separated by
routing devices. Figure 3-3 shows such an arrangement. Each group of switches
constitutes a VLAN domain.

Figure 3-3. VLAN Domains

Fully Meshed VLAN Domains

The switches shown in figure 3-3 above are said to be fully meshed. The term
“fully meshed” is often used when describing the connections between switches
in a domain. Fully meshed implies that there are links between all switches to
every other switch. A fully meshed topology provides high reliability and low
delays between endpoints. Figure 3-4 shows a VLAN domain consisting of four
fully meshed VLAN switches.
