Benefits of HP-UX VLANs

The advantages of HP-UX VLANs are:

Physically dispersed workgroups can be logically connected within the same broadcast domain to appear as if they are on the same physical LAN.

A single physical link can simultaneously serve several IP subnets when subnet-based VLANs are configured on that link.

Switches no longer need to classify and tag traffic. They focus on forwarding packets.

Workgroups requiring increased security can be logically connected within the same broadcast domain. Broadcast traffic will be isolated within the secure group.

End stations using VLANs can offer rudimentary class of service (CoS) locally by prioritizing traffic for certain activities.

HP-UX VLANs can be created, modified, and deleted without rebooting.

HP-UX VLANs are interoperable with non-VLAN aware devices, that is, devices such as servers or bridges that do not transmit or receive tagged packets.
