What is VLAN?
A VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a logical grouping of network devices, allowing them to communicate as if they were on the same physical network segment, regardless of their physical location. VLANs are commonly used to segment networks for security, performance, and administrative reasons. They enable network administrators to divide a single physical network into multiple broadcast domains.

DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is complementary as it automatically assigns IP addresses to devices within a VLAN.
ACL
ACLs (Access Control Lists) are used to filter traffic based on defined rules, and are often deployed alongside VLANs to improve security. They provide finer grained control that can be used in conjunction with VLANs.
