As for switching, I'm fully aware that it's not a security mechanism that cannot be defeated easily. However that VLANs have no security impact isnews to me. Since VLANS are defined on physical switch port basis, howcould they be used to receive or send traffic on other VLANs?
Because VLAN ports are under the control of the same software that switch ports are. VLAN boundaries fall for the same classes of attack that MAC address filtering does. There are even more features to attack for a typical VLAN switch. Ryan
