Different companies residing in the same business building may need to isolate service data from
each other. Therefore, based on the ports requirement of each company, VLANs are created on
the core router of the business building, and ports of each company are assigned to the
corresponding VLANs. This ensures that each company can have a "virtual switch" or a "virtual
workstation".
