To learn more: https://www.AutomationDirect.com/communications?utm_source=Gzei5TeLTgk&utm_medium=VideoTeamDescription - (VID-CM-0039) Learn the basics of VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) in this episode of AutomationDirect’s What Is? Networking Edition. A VLAN lets you segment one physical Ethernet network into multiple isolated logical networks—improving performance, reducing broadcast traffic, and adding security without extra hardware. We also cover Port‑Based VLANs, one of the simplest ways to organize industrial networks by assigning switch ports to specific VLANs. This makes it easy to separate PLCs, HMIs, drives, cameras, and IT devices for cleaner, faster, and more reliable communication.
