VLANsidonnaisuutta
VLANsidonnaisuutta, a Finnish term, translates to "VLAN affinity" or "VLAN attachment" in English. It refers to the concept of associating specific devices or groups of devices with particular Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs). This association is fundamental to how VLANs operate within a network infrastructure. When a device is assigned to a VLAN, it means that its network traffic will be segregated from devices in other VLANs, even if they are physically connected to the same switch. This segregation is achieved through the use of VLAN tags, which are added to Ethernet frames, indicating which VLAN the frame belongs to.
The VLANsidonnaisuutta of a device is typically configured on the network switch to which it is connected.
