Using Virtual LAN
Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your Moxa industrial secure router increases the efficiency of your network
by dividing the LAN into logical segments, as opposed to physical segments. In general, VLANs are easier to
manage.
The VLAN Concept
What is a VLAN?
A VLAN is a group of devices that can be located anywhere on a network, but which communicate as if they are
on the same physical segment. With VLANs, you can segment your network without being restricted by physical
connections—a limitation of traditional network design. With VLANs you can segment your network into:
• Departmental groups—you could have one VLAN for the marketing department, another for the finance
department, and another for the product development department.
• Hierarchical groups—you could have one VLAN for directors, another for managers, and another for
general staff.
• Usage groups—you could have one VLAN for email users and another for multimedia users.
