Chapter 4: Understanding VLANs
Topics:
Understanding Trunk and Access Ports
VLANs and Wireless Networks
Native VLAN
This chapter explains the principles behind a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). It is important to
understand VLANs to properly configure the wireless network switch.
A VLAN is a collection of nodes grouped according to their function or application, rather than their
physical location. They are grouped in order to separate and prioritise data within a network, as shown in
Figure 14: VLANs. VLANs are created when multiple applications, such as voice, telemetry, data and
video, are required in a mining network.
