Chapter 75: VLAN service management

Overview

Purpose

VLANs are created to provide the segmentation services traditionally provided by routers in LAN configurations. VLANs address issues such as scalability, security, and network management. Routers in VLAN topologies provide broadcast filtering, security, address summarization, and traffic flow management. The following table lists the types of VLAN services that are supported on the NFM-P by device type:
