Question

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows for the logical grouping of users across different switches. It is a way to create separate broadcast domains within a single physical network infrastructure, thereby reducing unnecessary broadcast traffic and improving network performance. Subnets may also logically group users, but they are based on IP address ranges rather than physical location, and they do not provide the same level of network segmentation as VLANs. DMZs (Demilitarized Zones) are used to provide a buffer zone between the Internet and a private network, and are not directly related to user grouping. Broadcast domains are created based on the physical network architecture, and cannot be altered without changing the underlying infrastructure.
