A VLAN is a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured to communicate as if
they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a number of different LAN
segments. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, they are
extremely flexible.
VLANs define broadcast domains in a Layer 2 network. A broadcast domain is the set of all
devices that will receive broadcast frames originating from any device within the set. Broadcast
domains are typically bounded by routers because routers do not forward broadcast frames.
