What is VLANs?

VLANs (Virtual LANs) are used to segment a physical network into multiple logical networks. This allows for better organization, security, and performance by isolating traffic between different groups of users or devices, even if they are connected to the same physical network switches. They are commonly used to separate departments within an organization, isolate guest networks, or prioritize voice and video traffic.
