ENCS 413 – Report #3
Abstract
VLAN or Virtual Local Area Network is a term to describe a network where devices are separated into virtual distinct networks, although their physical connections appear to be on the same network. Also VLANs can make two devices appear connected to the same network segment although they are physically not. In essence, VLANs are virtual networks that provide logical connections different than the physical ones. In this report we will cover the lab proceedings which addressed VLANs and its configuration on switches as well as multilayer switches. 2
