Trendnet TEG-2224WS [12/46] Features

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)

A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their

physical location and can communicate as if a common broadcast

domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce

latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead. Other

VLAN utility includes:

Security, Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in

eavesdropping on a broadcast network because data will be switched

to only those confidential users within the VLAN.

Cost Reduction, VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast

domains, thus eliminating the need of expensive routers.

Port-based (or port-group) VLAN is the common method of

implementing a VLAN, and is the one supplied in the Switch.
