vlan implementation benefits

Improved Administration Efficiency. Moves, adds, and changes of workstations due to reorganization are one of the largest expenses relative to managing the network Vastly increased ability to manage dynamic networks and realize substantial cost savings due to VLANVLAN membership is not tied to a workstation's location in the networkWhen user's location changes, network address does not change - IP network Router configuration remains intact.

    1: VLAN Implementation Benefits Improved Administration Efficiency Virtual Groups Reduction of Routing for Broadcast Containment Enhanced Network Security

    3: Virtual Groups Virtual group Model Location dependent department/section Dynamic organizational environment cross functional teams on a temporary project basis Managerial and architectural issues Managing a virtual group - VLAN membership Managing 80/20 group

    4: Controlling Broadcast Activity Broadcast traffic can degrade network performance if not properly managed Broadcast firewall: Routers, VLAN reduce overall broadcast traffic minimize problems in one segment VLAN instead of routers Higher performance and reduced latency Ease of administration, Cost Routers are more complex to configure Cost

    5: Enhanced Network Security LANs often have confidential, mission-critical data moving across them. Solution: Segment the network into distinct broadcast groups by VLAN Mainly true when VLANs are implemented with private port switching Router access list when communicating between VLAN

    6: Planning VLAN Defining LANs membership Best method for communicating VLAN membership information across multiple switches? Creating and differentiating workgroups Configuration automation Communication between different VLANs How these issues are resolved determines the effectiveness of a particular VLAN implementation in meeting the needs of both users and network administrators

    8: Creating workgroups Access users within the same department team for short term projects security users may work on sensitive information which should not be seen by other users traffic When there are a lot of broadcast traffic between them

    9: Communication between VLAN A VLAN cannot forward traffic to another VLAN Shared Severs between VLANs Router communicate between VLANs Routing between VLANs when VLANs are defined for both ATM and non-ATM devices Multiple ELANs are established in ATM backbone and are assigned to different VLANs Edge routing One-armed router Route server MPOA

    11: VLAN Management

    12: Management Function Needed Automatic Configuration Mapping between virtual connectivity and physical connectivity Ensure the configuration consistence Traffic analysis and control under VLAN There is a trade off between VLAN benefits and complexity in some areas of network management

    13: Conclusion VLAN Removes the physical boundary A lot of benefits Require elaborate planning Management is complex Possible problems in interoperability Evolving from infrastructure VLAN to Service-Based VLAN VLAN is More strategic rather than tactical.
