A virtual LAN (VLAN) is any broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a computer network at the data link layer (OSI layer 2). LAN is the abbreviation for local area network and in this context virtual refers to a physical object recreated and altered by additional logic. VLANs work by applying tags to network packets and handling these tags in networking systems - creating the appearance and functionality of network traffic that is physically on a single network but acts as if it is split between separate networks. In this way, VLANs can keep network applications separate despite being connected to the same physical network, and without requiring multiple sets of cabling and networking devices to be deployed.

'''Note:''' The LANS must be on a different subnet from each other. For example: LAN 192.168.1.1, LAN_2, 192.168.10.1,   LAN_3 192.168.15.1

'''Note:''' You can Tag more than one VLAN for the Same Port with “Tagged”, meaning multiple Tagged VLANs can be used on the same Port.  In this example I have turned on “Tagged” for VLAN 1 and VLAN 3 on LAN 3 for testing later.
