DEFINITION
 Virtual Local Area Network
 Logical group of network users

 Associate with ports on a switch

 Unique ID and NAME

 VLANs could span multiple switches

2
CURRENT NETWORK

3
RUNNING SERVICES
 Mail Server
 Attendance Software

 ERP

 Tally

 CCTV System

 Telecom

 Data Backup

 Database Services

4
WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF FLAT
NETWORKS?

 Easy to hide
 Network Stuck

 Lack of redundancy

 Broadcast issue

5
PROBLEMS WITH FLAT NETWORK
 Broadcast domain become too large
 No security control for individual switch ports

 Inflexible because subnets are created only with addition

of routers

SOLUTION THAT WE PROVIDE
 Plan a efficient network
 Solve Speed issue

 Create Separate network with different different

department & Services.
 Securing your network

 Network Monitoring

 Superior capability

WHAT DOES VLAN DO?

 Create smaller broadcast domains by grouping users

according to
 Location
 Department
 etc

 Improve security by preventing anyone in the same LAN

from monitoring the network traffic (eavesdropping)

8
WHAT DOES VLAN DO?
 Increase flexibility and scalability by letting system
administrators to create virtual subnets without adding
routers
