VLANs function at layer 2. Since VLANs isolate traffic within the VLAN, a Layer 3
router is needed to allow traffic flow between VLANs. Layer 3 routers identify
segments and coordinate with VLANs.
VLANs are broadcast and multicast domains. Broadcast and multicast traffic is
transmitted only in the VLAN in which the traffic is generated.
The RVS4000 supports up to 4 VLANs, including the default VLAN.
