VLANs can be defined by MAC address or IP address. When MAC address is used, you have a layer 2 VLAN, when IP address is used you have a layer 3 VLAN and a router is needed. Layer 2 VLANs mostly used for filtering (never done, I supose is a hard work to mantain) Peter Van Oene wrote: Just

Actually not. Collision domains have a layer 1 scope (assuming CSMA/CD media), and broadcast domains a layer 2 scope. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 1/18/2001 at 9:39 AM Lowell Sharrah wrote: are we talking about the difference between collision domains and broadcast domains?

Just for clarity, VLAN's are a layer 2 concept and IP is of course a layer 3 (please do not start with the "but what layer is arp again" :) Despite subnets and VLAN's generally happening on a 1:1 basis in a lot of theoretical and practical discussions, the two concepts are totally unrelated

Keep in mind that seperate VLANs will be seperate subnets. Which means that by default a host will encapsulate any IP packet destined for a different VLAN within an ethernet packet with a destination MAC address of the default gateway. So a layer 2 switch will never get the chance to try

A VLAN is, by definition, a separate subnet. If you decided to separate a single LAN into two VLANs, you'll have to change your addressing scheme. Once you've done that, you have to route to get from one subnet to the other. I don't even like the term "VLAN". The very term seems to cause a
