VLANs

A virtual local area network (VLAN) is a network concept and is central in directing traffic to your resources. It is an isolated broadcast domain that is created within a switch and is used to isolate broadcast traffic on the public and private networks.

Overview

VLANs are managed automatically with no need to interact directly with them, and they are assigned or removed according to the requirements. Each VLAN created within a switch is isolated from other VLANs. The network traffic can pass from one VLAN to another by adding a routing device. The routing functions must be provided at the data center core network. VLANs provide one method of packet identification, and they allow multiple workloads to coexist on the same system.

Work with your VLANs to add connections to the system as part of your network configuration.
