were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but
the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today
switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.
2.4 VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)
A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their physical location and can communicate
as if a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency and need
for routers, using faster switching instead. Other VLAN utility includes:
Security, Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in eavesdropping on a broadcast network
because data will be switched to only those confidential users within the VLAN.
Cost Reduction, VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast domains, thus eliminating the need of
expensive routers.
2.5 Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) integrates power and data onto one single cabling infrastructure, eliminating the
need to have AC power available at all locations.
Power and Data are integrated onto the same cable. Supporting category 5/5e up to 100 Meters, PoE will
provide power to PoE compatible device, such as IP telephones, wireless LAN access points, and IP security
cameras.
PoE is already widely adopted in the market, saving up to 50% of overall installation costs by eliminating the
need to install separate electrical wiring and power outlets.
