etwork, IEEE 802.1Q) is
a logical, self-enclosed, local network – unlike a phys-
ical (switched) network. VLANs divide physical net-
works into multiple logical, independent networks.
They optimise data distribution and make it easier to
set up network architecture that is more secure and ar-
ranged more clearly.
Using VLANs prevents the need for complicated physi-
cal wiring. This gives you greater spatial flexibility and
saves you having to purchase multiple costly individual
devices (e.g. routers, switches).
Different criteria can be used for mapping to VLANs,
such as port assignments or addresses. The
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac allows VLANs to be mapped
by port and/or access point. Other mapping methods
by third-party devices using "VLAN tags" are also sup-
ported. In addition, it is possible to prioritise data traf-
fic in the VLAN configuration.

Remote management via the
devolo dLAN AVpro manager software.
쎲
Optimal modification of the device for any usage
scenario through network ports that can be disa-
bled and the deactivation of the function buttons
on the device.
