Abstract
  • This study describes Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) technologies, which allow a single, physical computer network to be divided into separate, logical networks, such that it appears to the end user that he or she is ona separate, physical network from users on other VLANs. VLAN technology can be used to imporve network performance while minimizing or eliminating problems encountered in large networks. VLANs can also enhance security and reduce the resources required to administer the network. This study combines descriptive research with a case study of the use of VLANs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. General networking and VLAN-specific concepts are synthesized from the literature, and the experience of UNC-CH's Academic Technology and Networks (ATN) department with their VLAN implementation is analyzed.
