Segmenting a network can increase performance and security. Generally speaking, there are two types of segmentation:
Internal user segmentation—This is most often accomplished via virtual local area networks (VLANs).
External user segmentation—This is most often achieved with either a wireless connection outside the corporate firewall that allows direct access to the
public Internet or a VLAN that provides direct access to the Internet.
Assume you are a wireless network professional for a mid-size manufacturing company. You want to create VLANs to separate major internal user groups.
Research VLAN configurations for manufacturing companies.
Create a simple diagram showing an appropriate VLAN configuration.
In a separate Word document describe the components of the configuration, and explain the function of each component within the VLAN.
