Mitigating VLAN Attacks
Mitigating VLAN Attacks
A VLAN is a logical broadcast domain that can span multiple physical LAN segments. Within the switched inter-network, VLANs provide segmentation
and organizational flexibility. You can design a VLAN structure that lets you group together
stations that are segmented logically by functions, project teams, and applications
without regard to the physical location of the users. You can assign each switch port to
only one VLAN, thereby adding a layer of security. Ports in a VLAN share broadcasts;
ports in different VLANs do not share broadcasts. Containing broadcasts within a VLAN
improves the overall performance of the network.
