Hey hylton, The main advantage of having a VLAN is that they provide physical independence while defining a logical entity. Say one of your account person sits on first floor & in accounts vlan can be in the same subnet with the other account person who sits at 10th floor. However VLAN as a term, generally is considered to define a single subnet but you can also define two or more subnets in a single VLAN. In simplest words u can c a vlan as advanced stage of a subnet with many advanced options and facilities. As per the security is concern, i cant see one more secure than another. both are eqally secure (or unsecure) however a vlan is much more flexible than a subnet. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
