24-Port Managed Gigabit Switch
using a shared link so that there will be much less collision. In
addition, it is possible to also group a large LAN based on
some logic to smaller VLANs and reduce broadcast traffic
overall as each broadcast will be sent on to the relevant VLAN
only.
High Security- VLANs provide inherent security to the
network by delivering the frames only within the destined
VLANs when sending broadcasts and to the specific recipient
within the destined VLAN when a regular frame. Hosts in
different VLANs can not communicate each other directly, and
traffics sent by the host should be forworded through the
layer-3 switches or devices in network layer. Furthermore
when dividing user by VLANs it is possible to make the
division according to some security policy and offer sensitive
data only to users on a given VLAN without exposing the
information to the entire network.
Location Independence- since VLANs are a logical construct,
a user can be located anywhere in the switched network and
still belong to the same broadcast domain. Moving from one
switch to another switch in the same switched network, you
can still keep the user in his original VLAN, including a move
from one floor of a building to another floor, or from one part of
the campus to another.
Easy Management- an administrator is able to manage the
entire global network from a single location where the main
switching is done. Additionally it requires very little overhead if
using a VLAN based on ports which reduce the managerial
