VLAN Quick Start Configuration Guide

Network configuration

Host A and Host C belong to department A, but they access the company network through different devices. Host B and Host D belong to department B, but they access the company network through different devices.

To ensure communication security and avoid flooding broadcast packets, use VLANs to isolate Layer 2 traffic of different departments. Configure department A to use VLAN 100, and configure department B to use VLAN 200.
