4.4.7.2 802.1Q VLAN
802.1Q VLAN Concept
Port-Based VLAN is simple to implement and use, but it cannot be deployed cross switches VLAN.
The 802.1Q protocol was developed in order to provide the solution to this problem. By tagging
VLAN membership information to Ethernet frames, the IEEE 802.1Q can help network
administrators break large switched networks into smaller segments so that broadcast and
multicast traffic will not occupy too much available bandwidth as well as provide a higher level
security between segments of internal networks.
