Generation

# VLAN Segmentation VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) segmentation divides a physical network into multiple isolated logical networks, allowing devices to be grouped based on function, department, or security requirements rather than physical location. Each VLAN operates as a separate broadcast domain, reducing network congestion and improving security by controlling traffic flow between segments. **Key Formula:** **Number of VLANs = 2^n - 2** (where n = number of bits used for VLAN ID in 802.1Q tagging; standard allows 12 bits, supporting 4,094 usable VLANs) Devices in different VLANs cannot communicate directly without a Layer 3 device (router or Layer 3 switch) to route traffic between them.
