A technology that logically divides a network without changing the physical wiring.
Short for Virtual Local Area Network. A technology that logically divides broadcast domains without changing the physical wiring layout. It allows flexible reconfiguration, such as separating networks by department, without rewiring. When multiple VLANs need to cross the same physical link, a trunk port tags each frame with an 802.1Q tag to tell them apart.
