About VLANs
The VLAN concept in LAN technology helps minimize broadcast and
multicast traffic. It also makes end-station moves, adds, and changes
easier for the network administrator.
In the CoreBuilder system, VLANs allow you to:
■
Create independent broadcast domains to optimize network performance
and create firewalls
■
Form flexible user groups independent of the users’ physical network
locations
Types of VLANs
You can use several types of VLANs to group users. These types include:
■
Port group VLANs
■
MAC address group VLANs
■
Application-oriented VLANs
■
Protocol-sensitive VLANs
