Part 3/9:
The advantages of implementing VLANs are substantial. Primarily, VLANs reduce broadcast traffic, which can enhance overall network performance. By isolating traffic, they prevent broadcast storms from affecting the entire network, leading to more efficient communication.
Additionally, VLANs significantly bolster network security. By separating devices, VLANs restrict the spread and potential impact of issues such as security breaches. For instance, devices in a VLAN linked to Internet of Things (IoT) technology can connect to the internet without having visibility into other sensitive devices on the network.
