Using Virtual LAN

Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your EDS-510A increases the efficiency of your network by

dividing the LAN into logical segments, as opposed to physical segments. In general, VLANs are

easier to manage.

The Virtual LAN (VLAN) Concept

What is a VLAN?

A VLAN is a group of devices that can be located anywhere on a network, but which

communicate as if they are on the same physical segment. With VLANs, you can segment your

network without being restricted by physical connections—a limitation of traditional network

design. As an example, with VLANs you can segment your network according to:

 Departmental groups—You could have one VLAN for the Marketing department, another

for the Finance department, and another for the Development department.

 Hierarchical groups—You could have one VLAN for directors, another for managers, and

another for general staff.

 Usage groups—You could have one VLAN for e-mail users, and another for multimedia

users.
