What is 802.1Q?

IEEE 802.1Q is a networking standard that implements VLANs (Virtual LANs) on an Ethernet network. It adds a tag to Ethernet frames, allowing them to be identified as belonging to a specific VLAN. This enables network administrators to segment the network logically, improving security, performance, and manageability. It is commonly used to isolate network traffic, prioritize certain types of data, and create separate broadcast domains within a larger network.
