so broadcast and multicast traffic use valuable network bandwidth more efficiently. Additional VLAN benefits include:
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.
VID: VLAN ID is an identification of up to 4094 possible VLANs. A VID of 0 is used to identify priority frames. The value 4095 (FFF) is reserved, so the maximum possible VLAN configurations are 4,094.
