Everything about VLAN
Network communications domain that is isolated at the data link layer
A virtual local area network (VLAN) is a local area network broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a virtual network at the data link layer. A VLAN behaves like a virtual network switch or network link that can share the same physical structure with other VLANs while staying logically separate from them. Wikipedia →
