Title: Setting up Virtual Local Area (VLAN) Network
Objective
The objective of this lab is to learn how to make Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) using
switches.

Software Used
 Cisco Packet Tracer

Theory
Virtual LAN (VLAN)

A virtual local area network is a logical subnetwork that groups a collection of devices from
different physical LANs. Large business computer networks often set up VLANs to re-partition a
network for improved traffic management. Several kinds of physical networks support virtual
LANs, including Ethernet and Wi-Fi.

What Are VLANs Helpful With?

When set up correctly, virtual LANs improve the performance of busy networks. VLANs can
group client devices that communicate frequently with each other. The traffic among devices
split across two or more physical networks is usually handled by a network's core routers. With a
VLAN, that traffic is handled more efficiently by network switches.

Lab Tasks
Simulate following topology and implement VLAN.

Conclusion
In this lab we learned about how to make the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) using
switches.
