Configure Linux VLAN Virtual Local Area Network

On the network, if we use switch that can be manage by us, sometimes we use VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) to manage hosts on our network. Vlan, is a group of hosts with a common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, regardless of their physical location. So, with Vlan we can create more than one LAN on one network logically.
Vlan can be configured via console that provide by switch itself, and via software on Operating Systems (Linux commands). There are advantages if we using VLAN :

1. Performance
2. Ease of management
3. Security
4. Trunks
You don't have to configure any hardware device, when physically moving server computer to another location etc.

If you want to configure VLAN using Linux, you can read how to do it on this link. HowTo Configure Linux VLAN
