VID

VID

VLAN identifier. A 12-bit identifier in an Ethernet header.

VLAN

Virtual LAN. Splits the physical LAN into logical subparts. Multiple VLANs are supported on

a single port, enabling a server with a single adapter to have a logical presence on multiple IP

subnets.

VXLAN

Virtual eXtensive LAN. A tunneling mechanism for providing isolated virtual Layer 2 (L2)

segments that can span multiple physical L2 segments.
