VLAN

Virtual logical area network (LAN)

A group of hosts with a common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, regard- less of their physical location. Although a VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not located on the same LAN segment. VLANs enable network reconfiguration through software, instead of physically relocating devices.
