Section 5 - Advanced Network Conguration
VLANs
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical segment in a switched network. It allows independent logical
networks to be created within a single physical network. VLANs separate devices into dierent broadcast domains
and Layer 3 subnets. Devices within a VLAN can communicate without routing. The primary use of VLANs is to
split large switched networks, which are large broadcast domains.
The wireless controller provides VLAN functionality for assigning unique VLAN IDs to LAN ports so that trac
to and from that physical port can be isolated from the general LAN. VLAN ltering is particularly useful to limit
broadcast packets of a device in a large network.
