vlan10

VLAN 10 refers to a Virtual Local Area Network with the identifier 10. VLANs are a way to segment a physical network into multiple logical broadcast domains. This segmentation is achieved by assigning ports on a switch to specific VLANs. Devices connected to ports assigned to the same VLAN can communicate with each other as if they were on the same physical network segment, regardless of their physical location on the network.

When a frame is transmitted within a VLAN, it is tagged with the VLAN ID. This tag allows network switches to identify which VLAN the frame belongs to and to ensure that it is only forwarded to ports that are also members of that same VLAN. This prevents traffic from one VLAN from being broadcast to devices in other VLANs.

VLAN 10, like any other VLAN, can be used for various purposes. It might be designated for a specific department such as accounting or sales, for a particular type of traffic like Voice over IP (VoIP) or surveillance cameras, or for guest network access. By segregating traffic, VLANs improve network performance by reducing the size of broadcast domains, enhance security by isolating sensitive data, and simplify network management by allowing for logical grouping of devices. The specific configuration and purpose of VLAN 10 would be determined by the network administrator based on the organization's requirements.
