Virtual LAN (VLAN)
A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same
collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection
point in the network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with
no physical barriers, allowing users to share information and
resources as though located on the same LAN.
