Vlan
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast
domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members
of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of the same VLAN.
Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting
a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network
devices are still plugged into the same switch physically.
