3.7 Using Virtual LAN
Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your Weidmüller switch 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.
3.7.1 The Virtual LAN (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 according 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.
