Virtual LANs (VLANs)
Virtual LANs (VLANs) are a logical broadcast domain or logical grouping of interfaces in a local area network (LAN) in which all data
received is kept locally and broadcast to all members of the group.
When in Layer 2 mode, VLANs move trac at wire speed and can span multiple devices. The system supports up to 4093 port-based
VLANs and one default VLAN, as specied in IEEE 802.1Q.
VLANs benets include:
• Improved security because you can isolate groups of users into dierent VLANs
• Ability to create one VLAN across multiple devices
For more information about VLANs, refer to the IEEE Standard 802.1Q Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks. In this guide, also refer to:
• Bulk Conguration in the Interfaces chapter.
• VLAN Stacking in the Service Provider Bridging chapter.
