The following illustration shows a building with a sin-
gle physical network architecture that in turn has
to be used by two different companies separately
and isolated.
All network-compatible devices are connected on a
single dLAN pro network and share a broadband con-
nection and a VLAN-capable router. All data traffic
from each company in this building is contained in a
separate VLAN. Here, each data packet sent over the
dLAN pro network is given a VLAN tag specific to each
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac/n.
Each VLAN tag contains a unique VLAN ID: The VLAN
of the Bergmann company, for example, uses a
