Configuring VLANs
You can use virtual LANs (VLANs) to divide the network into separate logical areas. VLANs can also be considered as broadcast domains.
Any switch port can belong to a VLAN, and unicast, broadcast, and multicast packets are forwarded and flooded only to end stations in that VLAN. Each VLAN is considered a logical network, and packets destined for stations that do not belong to the VLAN must be forwarded through a router.
