VLANs and Network Segmentation
VLANs allow businesses to divide the network into separate logical segments.
Instead of allowing every device to communicate freely with every other device, VLANs help separate departments, users, servers, guest networks, cameras, voice systems, and management interfaces.
Network segmentation can improve security, simplify management, and reduce unnecessary traffic across the network.
Examples of VLAN segmentation include:
- Employee network
- Guest network
- Voice network
- CCTV network
- Server network
- Management network
- Finance department
- HR department
- Wireless users
