so broadcast and multicast traffic use valuable network bandwidth
more efficiently. Additional VLAN benefits include:
Security:
Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in
eavesdropping on a broadcast network because data will be switched
to only those confidential users within the VLAN.
Cost Reduction:
VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast
domains, thus eliminating the need of expensive routers.
VID:
VLAN ID is an identification of up to 4094 possible VLANs. A
VID of 0 is used to identify priority frames. The value 4095 (FFF) is
reserved, so the maximum possible VLAN configurations are 4,094.
