Sidhant Dogra is right however main reason of creating vlan
is.. a switch has one broadcast domain. so what ever broadcast
it gets it will forword to all the end devices.. however if
u creat vlans in switch u can break broadcast domain into
many smaller broadcast domain..quoting sidhant dogras

Answer / sandeep samale
ANS:
1. Security:
VLAN's enhance network security by dividing into multiple
broadcast domain. e.g. If group of users needing high
security can be put into a VLAN so the outside user of the
vlan can not communicate with them. Also keep the sensitive
data on a separate VLAN.
2. Performance:
In single broadcast domain there are too many broadcast. By
creating different VLAN it reduce the broadcast and as well
as to help in reducing the bandwidth consumption in the
network and increase the performance.
Also by creating separate vlan it possible to separate
traffic e.g. to separate traffic of voice and data separately.
3. Flexibility:
By using VLAN it can be possible to logically divide the
group as per the requirement. It is more manageable and ease
of adding and deleting and changing between different group
to the users.

Hi,
Vlans are created for easy communication and easy mapping
of lan systems by differentiating with fa01 and fa02 fa03
fa04 ..............fa99 .where in a lan in which ip address
ranging from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.99 and among these ip
ranges 192.168.1.1 to 4 are servers and we club them in
Fa01 and ip range from 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.6 to
192.168.1.75 into Fa02 and so on and in this way we can
differentiate Local Lan in order to be out of control of
Important servers and systems in network for better
performance .Vlans play a very vital role if switch is
installed in LAN.

Suppose we have 4 switches runing in VTP mode. So when i create a VLAN in Server Switch this VLAN info reflect in all other switch. So question is - A) Suppose i m practicing this scenario in BOSON software, When a create a VLAN in server switch n ADD ports of switch to that VLAN, the same number of ports of client switch also belongs to dat VLAN. For example - In switch A (Server mode), i create a VLAN 7 name Hyderabad & port number 1, 2 & 3 put into this VLAN. Another Switch B (Client mode), its also showing that port number 1,2 & 3 belong the same VLAN. How cud it possible... As we know, VTP share only VLAN configuration information. Cud anyone explain it please....!!!! B)Same thing, when i m practicing in PACKET TRACER 5.0, its only showing that VLAN configuration information is shared. No port information is shared at all. I can manually configure individual switch port to respective VLAN as our wish. Cud anyone explain it please..!!!
